Australia’s most populous state has expanded its Covid-19 lockdown to include a rural town and the coastal region of Byron Bay, as the city of Sydney recorded its highest daily case count since the beginning of the pandemic.

Sydney’s lockdown is set to end on August 28 but the state government has indicated that restrictions will remain through September. Australia has reported a total of about 36,630 cases and 940 deaths, according to the Health Ministry.

There were four deaths and 356 locally transmitted Covid-19 infections confirmed in New South Wales on Monday, almost all of which were in Sydney, state premier Gladys said during a press conference on Tuesday morning.
