SafetyNet 585

Welcome to the July 21 edition of SafetyNet.  

In the latest COVID news:  Victoria remains in lockdown, extended for seven more days, as does Greater Sydney and some regional NSW areas such as Orange. Yesterday, after two new cases were identified, taking the number of cases in the cluster to five, South Australia has also gone into a seven-day lockdown.  The measures having to be taken vary a great deal due to how much more infectious the Delta variant has proved to be.
