The NSW premier is trying to project a sense of order during Covid-19 but the men in her team are indulging in a kind of sabotage

Since well before Christmas the New South Wales premier, Gladys Berejiklian, has been dealing with crises: first the drought, then bushfires that ravaged her state, then the Covid-19 pandemic that has affected everyone.

Every morning at 8am Berejiklian fronts the media for her Covid-19 briefing, trying to project a sense of calm, order and empathy, urging the people of NSW to stick with the restrictions.

NSW has recorded two new coronavirus infections with 4,400 tests conducted. It is the lowest number of new cases recorded in the state since March 8.

There have been five new cases from over 4,112 people tested in the last 24 hours in NSW.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Chief Medical Officer Dr Kerry Chant and Transport Minister Andrew Constance provide an update on the coronavirus outbreak on April 29, 2020. NSW Health has confirmed 11 new cases after 5,400 tests were done overnight.

Ms Berejiklian says there needs to be better communication between aged care facilities and relatives after a 13th person has died from coronavirus at the Newmarch House.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is grilled over the behaviour of ministers Andrew Constance and John Barilaro at an awkward press conference on May 7, 2020. Mr Constance and Mr Barilaro had been engaged in a public spat amid pre-selection for the federal seat of Eden-Monaro, in which there will be a by-election.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant has confirmed four new cases of COVID-19 overnight with 9,400 tests conducted for May 8.
