They will join the 300 ADF troops who have already begun reinforcing the efforts of NSW Police across Sydney, patrolling and doorknocking in Sydney’s west and southwest to ensure COVID-19 health orders are being observed in the hotspots where the virus is surging.
Public health orders will also be strengthened to remove loopholes that allow travel outside of Sydney after a Rose Bay man travelled to Byron Bay while infected.
Commissioner Fuller will be put in charge of overseeing the crackdown."
