Five mystery coronavirus cases confirmed in NSW
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian provides a coronavirus update
Health authorities in NSW have warned a slew of new mystery coronavirus infections may have compromised several businesses in central Sydney, including an Apple store.
Key points:
- Three Sydney schools were closed after possible exposure to COVID-19 infections
- One of the new cases worked as a trainee bus driver, but was considered low risk
- Despite a low number of infections the NSW Premier said her state was “not out of the woods yet”
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian today revealed there had been six new COVID-19 cases in her state in the 24 hours to 8.00pm yesterday.
Only one of them was a returned traveller in hotel quarantine, meaning the source of the other five remains under investigation.
Warnings have been issued for several businesses in central areas, including a large office tower on George Street, a gym on Pitt Street and the Apple store at Broadway.
NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant also warned a trainee bus driver worked one day while infectious, but was wearing a mask.
Nearly 26,000 people were tested in the reporting period.
“Whilst we have been doing well the last few weeks, we are not out of the woods yet,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“Every day is a battle, every day we need to be vigilant.”
