Health authorities in NSW have confirmed 12 new coronavirus infections in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.
Key points:
- There are 12 new cases of COVID-19 in NSW, three acquired in Victoria and eight associated with known clusters
- One case is a traveller returned from overseas in hotel quarantine
- Two Sydney schools are closed but two of the three cases at the schools will not be counted until tomorrow
One of those cases is a returned overseas traveller in hotel quarantine.
Three are household cases acquired in Victoria and there are eight locally acquired cases linked to known clusters.
One case is linked to the Thai Rock restaurant in Wetherill Park, while two are people who went to the Apollo restaurant in Potts Point.
Five others either went to Mounties at Mount Pritchard or are linked to people who attended the club.
Two Sydney schools have been closed for on-site learning today, after three cases of COVID-19 were confirmed.
One student at Bonnyrigg High School and two students at Greenway Park Public School, both in Sydney's west, have tested positive to the virus.
All staff and students have been asked to self-isolate while authorities conduct contact tracing.
The schools will be thoroughly cleaned and will be told today when normal classes are to resume.
NSW chief health officer, Kerry Chant, said some cases were not currently traceable to known cases.
"While most cases in the past week have been associated with local clusters and close contact with known cases, some have not been linked to known cases, representing unknown chains of transmission in the community," she said.
"This is why we need your help to stop the spread of COVID-19."
More to come.
