‘No question about it’: NSW on track to reopen on October 11

Deputy Premier John Barilaro says NSW is well on track to reopen on October 11, as the state ploughs ahead of estimates to reach its 70 per cent double dose vaccination target by early October. "Absolutely ... we should hit 70 per cent double dose I think around the sixth or seventh of October; and we said we will open up on the following Monday, so that will be the 11th," Mr Barilaro told Sky News Australia. "So absolutely – it's a reward for everybody who rolled up their sleeve, got the jab, and now we're going to hit that milestone – no question about it – in the first week, week and a half of October. "Which means reprieve to businesses, reprieve to families, the opportunity to have a level of freedom especially as we embark into Spring. "It's exciting. This is a great result because of the citizens of NSW who've bought into the vaccination program and got the jab."
