177 new infections were reported there yesterday
Sydney's lockdown has been extended for another month, despite reports of vaccine stockpiles.
Lockdown in the Australian city will last until August 28th, after 177 new infections were reported yesterday.
It's believed the country has over 3 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine stored, however the risk of blood clots from the jab has slowed the rate of innoculation.
