NSW records five new coronavirus cases - NEWS.com.au

Health authorities remain on high alert after NSW recorded another five new cases of COVID-19 up to 8pm Saturday, including one community infection.

Four of the cases diagnosed were returned travellers in hotel quarantine.

The one locally acquired case has been linked to the Great Beginnings Childcare Centre in Oran Park, which has been identified as the source of six infections so far.

The new case of community transmission is a close contact to another diagnosis announced on Saturday.

There are now 19 confirmed cases in the Oran Park community, with Oran Park High School closed for cleaning this weekend after an infected student was identified on Friday.

“All staff and children who attended Great Beginnings Childcare Centre between 2 and 13 October are considered close contacts and must get tested immediately and self-isolate for a full 14 days from when they last attended,” NSW Health said in a statement.

“They must stay isolated for their full isolation period regardless of their test result. Contact tracing and investigations are continuing.”

Great Beginnings will remain closed until October 28.

More to come.
