NSW has reported 10 new COVID-19 cases, including two schoolchildren linked to the Sydney CBD cluster.
Key points:
- Two students at a prestigious Rose Bay school have tested positive
- The cases are linked to the city cluster which has now infected 64 people
- Another child at Lidcombe Public School is a confirmed case
Kincoppal-Rose Bay School of the Sacred Heart is closed tomorrow while contract tracing and cleaning is undertaken after two year 7 students tested positive for COVID-19.
The school told parents on Saturday night it was working with health authorities to follow health advice.
"Students, their families and school staff have been informed of the infection, and the school is working closely with NSW Health to ensure they receive appropriate medical support," the school said in a Facebook post.
The school's junior school and early learning centre will be open on Monday, however.
Of the 10 cases reported, two — a man in his 40s from northern Sydney and a child from Western Sydney — are under investigation.
The child attends Lidcombe Public school.
The school is being cleaned and contract tracing is underway.
Four cases are returned travellers in hotel quarantine.
Four cases are linked to known clusters: three from the CBD cluster, while another is a contact of a previously reported case.
The CBD cluster now has a total of 64 positive cases.
NSW Health has also issued a health alert for the Hyde Park Medical Centre on Liverpool Street in the city.
One of today's reported cases visited the centre and health authorities are assessing the risk.
NSW Health is investigating whether there was exposure from the centre and its various practices and the ground floor pharmacy between the dates of August 24 to September 5.
There were 38,526 tests included in the reporting period.
NSW Health said that number includes 18,956 tests done by a private laboratory between August 10 and September 2, which were not previously reported to the authority.
All of the extra tests had negative results.
Ninety people are being treated for COVID-19 by NSW Health, with seven in intensive care.
To date, the state has recorded 3,925 cases and 54 deaths.
