A medical centre in Sydney’s CBD has been alerted over a possible infection scare, after two confirmed COVID-19 cases visited the clinic over a two-week window.
NSW Health issued a warning for the Hyde Park Medical Centre on the ground floor of 175 Liverpool St, with the cases there between Monday, August 24 and Saturday (yesterday), September 5.
Anyone who was there between those dates may have been exposed to coronavirus.
