The Queensland Premier has declared the City of Fairfield in Sydney’s southwest a coronavirus hot spot.
Annastacia Palaszczuk has discouraged residents from the council area’s 27 suburbs from, crossing the border into Queensland after a spike in COVID-19 cases across NSW on Thursday.
The suburbs affected are Abbotsbury, Bonnyrigg, Bonnyrigg Heights, Bossley Park, Cabramatta, Cabramatta West, Canley Heights, Canley Vale, Carramar, Cecil Park, Edensor Park, Fairfield, Fairfield East, Fairfield Heights, Fairfield West, Greenfield Park, Horsley Park, Lansvale, Mount Pritchard, Old Guildford, Prairiewood, Smithfield, St Johns Park, Villawood, Wakely, Wetherill Park and Yennora.
It comes after two other southwestern municipalities were barred from entering Queensland under strict new border measures last week.
From midday last Tuesday residents and anyone who had travelled recently to suburbs within the Liverpool and Campbelltown local government areas would be banned from crossing north of the border under strict new border measures.
NSW announced 19 cases on Thursday – three from the Crossroads Hotel cluster in Casula, nine from the Thai Rock restaurant at Wetherill Park and one a southwestern Sydney resident who returned from Victoria.
Three of those cases are in hotel quarantine, and the final three are under investigation.
NSW Health reiterated advice given earlier this week, urging anyone with even the smallest symptom, like a runny nose or a scratchy throat, to get tested and self-isolate until they had a result.
“Stay at home and do not go to work or catch public transport until you are cleared of COVID-19,” NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said.
