That's only slightly more than Cyprus. Just to put it into context.
In a city of 5.5 million. 7 million people if you add Canberra, Woolongong, Newqcastle, Coffs harbour and surrounding areas.
Now, I wouldn't believe what the media say that they are all unvaccinated. The majority of Sydney has had at least 1 dose.
And knowing the media, they count those with 1 dose as "not vaccinated"
Sydney has the highest vaccination rate in Australia. And considering the fact that the vaccination program has only gone into full gear in the last 4 weeks or so, there are millions of people with one dose, waiting for their second.
When it comes to COVID, only believe half of what you hear.
An example, today there were 2 COVID deaths they told us. One was a genuine COVID death, and a fairly young person of good health who succumbed to COVID. The other person was an 80 year old, who had multiple serious health issues. In other words, that person just died WITH COVID. But is counted as a COVID victim.
