A worsening coronavirus outbreak in Sydney prompted Australian regions to pull up the drawbridge on the city and surrounding state Friday by implementing unprecedented travel restrictions.

Western Australia became the latest state to impose tighter curbs on travel from New South Wales and its state capital, which posted a record 390 new infections Friday.

McGowan said the measures — which are more restrictive than many international borders — were “tough” but “entirely fair”. There is growing anger at Sydney’s failure to bring its seven-week-old outbreak under control, as cases spread to the countryside and across state borders.More than 10 million Australians are in lockdown as the Sydney cluster — which started with an overseas flight crew — grew to 6,874 cases.
