  • Story Text: Residents of Sydney's eastern suburbs were still able to enjoy outdoor exercise despite New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, reporting 199 locally acquired cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday (August 3).
    Numbers were down from 207 a day earlier, as officials scramble to bring under control an outbreak of the Delta variant in state capital Sydney.
    Of the new cases, at least 50 spent time in the community while infectious, state Premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney. Total cases in the year's worst outbreak have topped 3,800 since the first was detected in mid-June.
