COVID-19 Diaries: Vaccination Centre at Macquarie Fields

Thousands lined up in the midday sun today at the Glenquarie Town Centre in Macquarie Fields, which has been converted into a vaccination centre. Police and Australian Defence Force personnel were in attendance.

High numbers of COVID-19 cases still persist in Sydney’s south-west. Around the state, 644 infections were detected, with 4 deaths. The NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, also announced harsh new lockdown measures, including a curfew in the hotspot LGAs, beginning Monday. The mayor of the Cumberland Council, in which Macquarie Fields lies, and other community leaders launched scathing attacks on the state government, after today’s announcements were made.
