Australian capital Canberra goes into snap lockdown

The Australian capital Canberra is going into a snap one-week lockdown after recording its first case of Covid-19 in more than a year.

It will come into effect at 17:00 local time on Thursday (07:00 GMT).

The lockdown was called for the whole of the Australian Capital Territory – home to around 400,000 people – because authorities do not know how the infected person caught the virus.

Residents will only be able to leave home for essential reasons.

Queues were reported at supermarkets as the lockdown approached.

Australia is struggling to get on top of the highly infectious Delta strain, which has resulted in two of its largest cities – Sydney and Melbourne – going into strict lockdowns.

Large parts of New South Wales are locked down, and in Victoria there are similar restrictions on Melbourne for at least another week.

Extra military reinforcements could be called upon to ensure compliance with lockdown rules in Sydney, the New South Wales state government said.

“We are making sure that we do not leave any stone unturned in relation to extra (military) resources,” state Premier Gladys Berejiklian told a media conference.

Yeah. My wife’s church/daycare for a couple days a week, just decided the teachers with 2 and 3 y.o will also be wearing mask all day long. We are in touch with other parent’s all pulling kids out. Trying to get my money back now.. they promise “worst case scenario, was only teacher’s wearimg for pick up or drop off.” That should have been WORST CASE than right?? NOW All day long these kids are supposed to learn to talk from masked sheeple.
Glad we know how shady this place js now! She’s finally over that one..Hallelujah

Australia is also under intense drought conditions that have led to catastrophic wildfires. Is there any doubt that this is geoengineered weather warfare?
