NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has spoken to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell about Sydney’s lockdown and how he believes the goal of getting “zero” COVID cases in Sydney is not possible for “some time”.

Mr Fuller also said the “ring of steel” around Fairfield or Greater Sydney could not be done “practically”- arguing hundreds of streets would have to be policed.

“You can’t do it practically and again if you look at . . . the Northern Beaches, it had sort of a couple of key points out which made it very easy to police but Fairfield as an LGA it was practically impossible to put a ring of steel in and at the same time again if you think of the way the virus is spreading,” he said.

“The ring of steel wouldn’t have worked.”
