1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to the Daily os. It's Monday, 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: the tenth of May. My name is Sam Kazlowski, and 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: helping me make sense of today's news is Zara Sidelock. 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: Making news today, New South Wales restrictions, extended. 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: Debris in the Indian Ocean. 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: Some good news about the Darling River, and a. 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: Chat about the situation in New South Wales. Here's today's 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: daily digest. 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: Greater Sydney has extended restrictions by one week despite no 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: new locally acquired cases of COVID nineteen in New South Wales. 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Most restrictions will remain. However, customers in retail and hospitality 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: settings will no longer have to wear a mask. Investigations 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: are continuing into the missing Link, but we'll chat about 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: that a bit later. 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: Sam would say that this is out of this world. 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: But debris from a Chinese rocket has landed in the 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: Indian Ocean near the Maldives. Most of the debris was 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: reportedly destroyed upon Rehenn Tree into the Earth's atmosphere. The 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: long March five B rocket was carrying the first module 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: of China's new space station. China has an additional ten 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: more launchers planned to carry parts of the space station 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: into orbit. 23 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: There was a shooting yesterday in New York's Times Square, 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: leaving three people injured, including a four year old child. 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: The three victims were reportedly unintended targets of the shooter 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: and were not related to one another, according to the NYPD. 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: No arrests have been made and the investigation is still ongoing. 28 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: Finally, to today's good news, the Darling River is flowing 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: and full again from March storms after suffering years of drought. 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 2: Bara Mhughes and natural leader and Marawari Negemba Man said, 31 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: it's not very often we get water flowing through our 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: river systems like this. It's making the town energized again. 33 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: With water now flowing down the river, it's also going 34 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: to be used for fishing, yabbying and sometimes swimming. So 35 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: in New South Wales we have become accustomed to living 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: a COVID free life. Up until last week there had 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: been basically next to no restrictions for our movements or gatherings. 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 2: And then last week there was a mystery case. A 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: man in his fifties tested positive to COVID nineteen. He 40 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: had not traveled overseas, he was not a health worker, 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: and he was not a border worker, nor had he 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: associated with anyone in these fields. Though we've affectionately come 43 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 2: to know this man as somebody desperate for a barbecue, 44 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: it is really calling into question how our quarantine systems 45 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: are working and how missing cases or missing links, as 46 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: Gladys Bregeicallyan has called it, are still arising a year later. 47 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: So what we know about this case is what Kerry Chant, 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: the Chief Health Officer, told us last week, which was 49 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: that the genomic sequencing of the man in his fifties 50 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: in Sydney's East exactly matches that of somebody in hotel 51 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 2: quarantine currently who has returned from the United States. Now, 52 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: the missing part of this is that we don't know 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 2: how the case got from hotel quarantine to the man 54 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: who says that he has not been overseas or been 55 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: in contact with anybody in hotel quarantine. And that's why 56 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: we still have restrictions in place, because even though there 57 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: have been no other cases associated, which is pretty remarkable, 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: we still don't know how it's gotten from hotel quarantine 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: out into the community, and until we can find that 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: missing link, there are likely to be restrictions in place. 61 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: That entire time, so Sam run us through what the 62 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: current restrictions are. 63 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: So until just after midnight next Sunday night, so the 64 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: morning of Monday May seventeen. Here are the restrictions for 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Greater Sydney. There cannot be more than twenty guests including 66 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: children per household. Masks have to be worn on public 67 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: transport and in indoor venues including theaters, hospitals and age 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: care facilities, but they don't have to be worn in 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: retail hospitality settings. There's a pause on drinking while standing 70 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: at indoor venues, affectionately known as vertical consumption. There's no 71 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: singing by audiences allowed at indoor shows or by congrudents 72 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: at places of worship, and there's no dancing at hospitality 73 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: venues or nightclubs. There is a dancing provision for weddings, 74 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: but it's recommended that no more than twenty people be 75 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: on the dance floor at any given point. The testing 76 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: figures in New South Wales were good, but they weren't awesome. 77 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: There were eighteen thousand tests conducted in New South Wales 78 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: on Saturday, and at the height of the pandemic, we 79 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: were testing about thirty thousand people a day. It does 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: look like to us like this will be the state 81 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: of play for people in Greater Sydney until this missing 82 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: link is identified. It's not as important, in fact, whether 83 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: we continue to record zero cases a day. The focus 84 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: is more going to be on identifying that link. New 85 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: South Wales Health has reminded people with even the mildest 86 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: of symptoms a cough, headache, fatigue, sore throat or runny 87 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: nose to come forward and get tested. At this time 88 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: of year, those symptoms are pretty common with all of 89 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: us as we get colds and flus, and it's more 90 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: important than ever to go for a test. That's all 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: we've got time for today. Your reviews last week made 92 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: a massive difference to us and we really appreciate it. 93 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: If you haven't had the chance to leave a review, 94 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: Monday is a great day to do so. And if 95 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: you want to catch up with news throughout the day, 96 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: find us on Instagram at the Daily OS.
