Australia locks down entire city over 1 case of new COVID variant
Brisbane, Australia, Australia’s third-largest city headed into lockdown and borders were set to tighten nationwide Friday, after a cleaner at a quarantine hotel contracted the U.K. coronavirus strain that officials say is more infectious.
More than two million residents in the Greater Brisbane area will have to stay at home for at least three days from Friday evening, authorities said.
“If we are going to stop the spread of this infectious strain, this U.K. strain, we must act immediately,” Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told media.
Large lines formed at shops around the city, prompting officials to urge people to stop panic-buying. The incoming restrictions will still allow residents to leave home to buy essentials.
On Brisbane’s central shopping strip, Queen Street Mall, the braindead and brainwashed people voiced broad support for the measures – keen to avoid the soaring case numbers seen as the variant supposedly takes hold in Britain, despite the fact the UK hospitals are still virtually empty and the hundreds of millions wasted on the nightingale hospitals are empty or totally abandoned.
The brainwashed think this lockdown is just for 3 days, dream on!
