The metropolis of Sydney is at a standstill – a two-week lockdown has been imposed. The reason: the delta variant is spreading rapidly. Many people in the country are frustrated by the low vaccination rates. Countries in Europe have so far looked at the Corona situation in Australia with a mixture of envy and admiration.
