Australia’s test tour of South Africa is becoming increasingly unlikely after the country recorded 1 million cases of Covid-19 when a new variant of the coronavirus emerged.

Australia faces a three-test tour in mid-February, but a few hurdles must be overcome before they can be ticked off, reports AAP.

Cricket Australia is still working closely with its South African counterpart on a possible plan to address logistical, safety and biosecurity concerns.

Issues plaguing the recently canceled England tour which infected local players and hotel staff need to be addressed.

In public, CA is keen to do whatever it can to continue the tour, while being aware of a strong duty of care towards its players.

However, with the departure date being six weeks away, reality is running out fast.

On Monday, South Africa turned 18. Country registered 1 million confirmed Covid cases, with daily numbers hitting June high.

Medical experts have also raised concerns that they believe it is a more contagious variant of the virus that is gripping the country.

Joe Connellan, head of the Interim Australian Cricketers Association, said he expected CA to take a cautious approach during the tour.

Cricket Australia comes from a very conservative position and you can see with the narrowness of the current protocol ???? Connellan said.

Pat Cummins was on the file recently, saying that players have some level of fear about this.

ACT Police are looking for a man who jumped into Lake Burley Griffin at 1am. 3 p.m. to avoid getting arrested. Last seen 100 m offshore from Kings Avenue (it is not clear which side of the lake) https: // t. co / mUJMCfX5zh

The car the man was driving in was seen by police in connection with a failure to stop the incident and pursue other traffic and property related matters.

A police statement said a man and woman had escaped from the car. She was arrested by the police shortly afterwards.

Police followed the man on foot and « jumped into Lake Burley Griffin ». Sea and helicopter search and rescue teams were called in, but attempts to find the man failed.

Visibility at this time of the morning was poor, so we also thoroughly searched the area where he was last seen for more information about the incident.

There are several people of interest whom we have identified as linked to this incident who will continue our investigations, including speaking with witnesses. I assume that more fees will be charged in the future.

Fresh produce will fall to the ground and rot if state governments don’t allow more workers to enter the country to make up for the fruit-picking labor shortage, the Agriculture Secretary said.

David Littleproud used an interview with the ABC today to urge states to offer more flexibility. So far only 1. 500 people from 22. 000 workers from 10 Pacific countries who had been pre-screened by the federal government came to the government.

This is due to the fact that states have not allowed additional numbers because they have maintained quarantine limits in each of their jurisdictions.

Littleproud credited Queensland with being a little novel about how they got people in. and allow them to quarantine on farms, not motel rooms. While he said he respected the states? Sovereignty, « we now say to you, it is time-sensitive ».

We have just gotten to a point where our farmers, especially for you in the southern states, especially Victoria, will have a lot if nothing happens now and you can’t find a mechanism to quarantine their crops on the Soil fall and rot, or they just plow it in . . . We say to [the States]: Now is the time to actually pull the trigger, otherwise you will pay for it at the till.

This is an indication of the fact that the federal government’s agricultural forecaster has predicted that fruit and vegetable prices in Australia could rise due to Covid-19 travel restrictions that limit the labor available for harvest. We reported last month that prices for summer vegetables, stone fruits, apples, pears and table grapes are expected to rise between 15% and 25%.

Littleproud also acknowledged that the government’s domestic fruit picking relocation program would not solve the labor shortage. When asked how many Australians have responded to the 6. Had accessed $ 000, he said:

Look, only in the hundreds, three, or 400 right now. And we didn’t expect this to be the panacea, but all of these jobs need to be tested in the market first. Australians get first [chance].

Much of the greater Sydney area and central west NSW are prepared for noxious winds and large hailstones as part of a severe thunderstorm.

The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm warning Monday afternoon for Sydney and parts of the Illawarra, Hunter and Central Tablelands that could last most of the afternoon.

The office later expanded the storm-prone area to include NSW’s Central West Slopes and Plains as well as parts of the Southern Tablelands.

The state rescue service has recommended that cars be removed from trees in the affected areas and loose objects secured. People should be at least eight meters away from fallen power lines.

A heavy thunderstorm cell also moved northeast from West Sydney to the NSW Central Coast on Monday afternoon.

A Bom meteorologist, Helen Reid, said earlier Monday that storms with gusts of 80 km / h had already been registered in the north and east of NSW.

« We have a nice summer situation where a lot of moisture is being fed in from the tropics, » Reid said in a statement.

« The tropical zone of convergence has shifted to the southern hemisphere, bringing that moisture closer to us. With an inland trough over NSW that just directs that moisture above us, she’ll hang around.  » for a few days. â ????

Reid said more thunderstorms would occur in northeast NSW on Tuesday, but a southerly change would ease conditions in south and west NSW.

According to Reuters, Norman said the « hideous » ???? Virus had « thrown the crap out of me like nothing I’ve ever seen before » ????. That was even though Norman said he had a high tolerance for pain.

Muscle and joint pain on another level. Headache that feels like a chisel going through the head and scraping a little bit off every time, fever, muscles that just wouldn’t work.

Then my taste failed where beer tastes bad and so does wine . . . sometimes struggling with the memory of names and things.
