Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says daily rapid antigen testing for COVID-19 will be a тАЬvery welcome initiativeтАЭ for schools so they can go back to in-person learning.
тАЬItтАЩs not as accurate as going to the testing station, but I think thatтАЩs welcomed,тАЭ Mr Clennell told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
Mr Clennell said while easing restrictions around attending school is beneficial for students, the critical thing will be if Gladys Berejiklian actually тАЬcracks downтАЭ on the southwest and western Sydney.
тАЬThe big question I canтАЩt answer for you, which IтАЩm really interested to see and is probably critical to the whole thing тАж is Gladys going to crack down on southwest and western Sydney, because the numbers indicate she should.
тАЬItтАЩs all very well loosening everything and opening everything up.
тАЬWe know тАж the other states arenтАЩt handing over the vaccines, thereтАЩs no rush of vaccines to southwest or western Sydney.
тАЬShe needs to do something to get the numbers down and thatтАЩs the big test for the premier tomorrow I think.тАЭ
