Singapore hits 80% fully vaccinated. Sydney hits 1200+ new cases in a day.
Singapore has hit its 80% fully inoculated target (the population of Singapore is 5.7 million people).
Singaporean authorities have previously said they’ll be further easing COVID-19 restrictions after hitting the 80% milestone. Great work SG.
Meanwhile in Australia:
- Sydney (NSW state as a whole, but most is Sydney) reported 1026 on Saturday and reported 1218 (new high daily count) today
- Melbourne (Victoria) 63 and 91 respectively. Victoria’s lockdown was scheduled to ease back a little next week, this was unlikely as new case numbers rose late in the week and its definitely not going to happen given these updates. I’m a Melbourne local and I went for a run today and got hailed on. (Early part of the run featured some sun!) Says it all really.
Across the water in New Zealand, 81 and 83 respectively.
The race is on in Australia and New Zealand to get to that 80% 2-shot level like Singapore. Its many months away at least.
