1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning, Sam Well, another tough week.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Victorian coronavirus cases are soaring they are in stage four lockdown.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: People in New South Wales getting very nervous. The only

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: constance this is the ever changing rules and restrictions to

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: help us navigate the New South Wales. Premier Glad is

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: vergically in good morning.

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: Good morning guys, how are you very very well?

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: Well, let's start with the announcement you made yesterday. Everyone

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: flying in from Victoria, even if there are people from

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: New South Wales returning home, will have to at their

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: own expense, isolate or quarantine in a hotel.

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're doing this to make sure we're not

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: leaving any stand unturned. And if you look at the

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: infection rates in Victoria, unfortunately they're very high and we

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: were hoping they would start to go down. And no

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: border is impenetrable no matter how tough we are. We've seen, unfortunately,

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: examples where people have tried to get through or have

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: made a lame excuse to try and get through, and

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: we need to stop that. But can I also stress

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: that the number of Victorians trying to get into New

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: South Wales is small compared to the number of New

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: South Wales residents trying to come back home who had

23
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: been coming back home, and we suspect that's pretty much

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: declining now already because most people who wanted to come

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: back home have But we're also saying to Victorians. Previously

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: would allow people who had told us they had a

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: critical service they had to do in New South Wales

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: have an exemption. We're really clamping down on that as well.

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: So unless you have a family tragedy or a very

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: very very good excuse in your Victorian, you really shouldn't

31
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: be coming to New South walest But.

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: To be clear, if you live in New South Wales

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: and you're flying home from Victoria, you can't isolate at home.

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: You go into a hotel.

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely that's the case. You have to isolate in a

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: hotel because we do that to New South Wales residents

37
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: coming back from overseas, and unfortunately, the infection rate in

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: Victoria is comparable to some places around the world. So

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: when people come back from overseas, they have to go

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: into quarantine and they have to pay for it themselves,

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: and we do that on behalf of lots of others

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: because most of the international flights are coming into Sydney now,

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: so we've been doing that. Forty thousand people we've been

44
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: taking care of already through that process, which is a

45
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: big jobs in your Southwest, and now obviously we're extended that,

46
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: but the numbers are nowhere near that. Returning your Southwest,

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: most people who wanted to get back home already has

48
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: because the situation in Victoria. Whilst we know the numbers

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: took a master turn yesterday that the situation has been

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: difficult for a number of weeks. So those new South

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: Wales residents would have had ankle time who needed to

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: get back home, to get back home, and if there's

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: others still trying to get back, they do have to

54
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: stay in quarantine to make sure that if they do

55
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: have the virus, given how infexious Weldon is, they don't

56
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: spread it.

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: But it's extraordinary.

58
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 4: Victoria now has our Age Care, the Combined Age Care

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: and the Ruby Princess on their hands.

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 3: Why has it exploded so much in Victoria?

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: Well, look, I'll leave that for others to comment from,

62
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: but I have to stay focused on you.

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: We've got a fifty fifty chance.

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: I was just reading the paper fifty to fifty chance

65
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: of a Victoria like surge, is that is that true?

66
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: Well, the surge that reality has been there with us

67
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: every day since Victoria. The situation in Victoria happened. We

68
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: were quick to close our border in South Wales and

69
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: the border community is still moved around together, so they're

70
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: in a bit of a bubble on the border because

71
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: some of these communities can't function without each other because

72
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 2: they've got one hospital and one airport between them. So

73
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: we've tried to manage that border situation and allowed the

74
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: communities to come back and forth. So it's a very

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: difficult situation and only one case. Remember the surge we've

76
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: had in all the case numbers you've seen in the

77
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: last month, came from I don't want to put pressure

78
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: on this person, but one Victorian who went to his workplace.

79
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: He went to a workplace in Sydney and then went

80
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: for a drink at the Crossroads Hotel and the rest

81
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: is history. And that's how all the cases we had started.

82
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: So it does show that it only takes a couple

83
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: of cases to get out of control, and that's why

84
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: we're grateful that people are coming forward and getting tested.

85
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: The more people that get tested, the higher confidence we

86
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: have that we're not missing any undetected cases, which is

87
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: what happened in Victoria. They obviously missed some undetected cases

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: and then it kept spreading and before they knew it,

89
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: they had too many cases to manage it. So what

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: we do is urge everybody. So yesterday I was so

91
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: pleased that more than twenty two thousand people got tested

92
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: in one day, and then twelve cases were a result

93
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: of that, and we need to keep those testing rack time.

94
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: I just want to thank everybody for coming forward and

95
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: doing that. Some of you, some of us may have

96
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: been tested more than once, because you may have been

97
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: tested a month ago, stayed home, been negative, been unwell, recovered,

98
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: and then you might develop symptoms again in a couple

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: of weeks, which means you should go and get tested

100
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: again because you may not have had You may have

101
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: just had a cold then, but now you may really

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: have the virus. But we do have to assume because

103
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: it's winter and the temperatures cooler, that you have everyone.

104
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: Get everyone gets, everyone gets a cold around it this time.

105
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Do you think that mass should be mandatory in New

106
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: South Wales.

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Well, we're not at that stay yet it's really important

108
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: for us to take the health advice and follow it

109
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: according to the risk that we think and help things

110
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: is posed to the community. So we recommended masks and

111
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: I wore it to my supermarket on Sunday nights the

112
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 2: first time, and a lot of other people were as well.

113
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: So in situations where you can't guarantee social distancing, if

114
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: you live in Western Sydney or north Western Sydney in particular,

115
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: you should wear masks if you're out and about and

116
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: going to be with other people. But it is the

117
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: fourth line of events. The first thing is if you

118
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: have symptoms, go home, get tested and stay home for

119
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: fourteen days. Then hand hygiene and that one and a

120
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: half meters. If you go out for a meal with

121
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: a friend, you still have to do the one and

122
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: a half meters. Just because you know them doesn't mean

123
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: you're protected from each other, no, exactly.

124
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: And it's like if you see a crowd, don't go

125
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: and be in part of the crowd.

126
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: If you see a crowd, keep away from the crowd.

127
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: It can't get more simpler than that. Well gladus, it's

128
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: always great to talk to you.

129
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: Looking good in the press conferences, I look at your

130
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: face as a gauge, and I say, well, now you're

131
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: looking relaxed.

132
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: You're looking relaxed on.

133
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: I don't interpret that.

134
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: I mean it's well, okay, you're alert, but you can't okay.

135
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: Some days less stressful than others. It's clear to say, yea,

136
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: this week's been better than last week.

137
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: The Gladdy barometer is looking good. Okay, so take that on.

138
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: Thanks for your time today, Premier. We appreciate it. Thank you,

139
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,400
