Joyful Australians hit the bars to celebrate the end of in Sydney after 106 days of ‘blood, sweat and no beers’.

Large queues were seen outside bars and slot machines venues — known is Australia as ‘pokies’ — ahead of the long-awaited ‘Freedom Day’, which began at midnight local time.

While much of Europe and the US has long since been reopened, Sydney — which is home to more than five million people — and the wider county of have been in a strict lockdown since June.

The stay-at-home order was announced for non-essential workers after 80 cases of the Delta variant — which came to be known as ‘the Bondi Cluster’ — were discovered in the county.

By comparison the UK removed all Covid restrictions on July 19 — a day in which almost 40,000 new cases were recorded.

Australia had planned for ‘Zero Covid’ — eliminating all cases from the country — through harsh lockdowns and strict immigration controls.

But the spread of the more infectious Delta variant — which saw case numbers rise to 1,600-a-day in Sydney at its peak — convinced local government officials to impose a fresh lockdown in June. 

But realising Zero Covid was no longer achievable due to the highly-transmissible Delta variant, the policy has since been shifted to a ‘living with Covid’ strategy.

With cases now falling — 477 Covid infections were recorded in Sydney on Sunday — and as much as 70 per cent of the now vaccinated, the local state government has now decided to lift restrictions in New South Wales.

‘It’s a big day for our state,’ said New South Wales’ recently appointed premier Dominic Perrottet. After ‘100 days of blood, 릴게임사이트 sweat and no beers,’ he said, ‘you’ve earned it.’
