Sydney's lock down has been extended, while masks are no longer mandatory in Victorian offices. 27 new cases of Covid-19 have been reported in Sydney with only 13 of which were in isolation for the their full infectious period. Greater Sydney's two week stay at home order is therefore extended by a week to Friday 16 July. Elias Clure from the ABC is on the phone from Sydney.
