Coronavirus Australia live news: Sydney commuters told to get tested as authorities attempt to contain spread - ABC News

And if you'd prefer to read through the latest COVID-19 update from NSW instead of watching the video below ... 

Here's what NSW Health have said:

  

There were 11,953 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with 11,128 in the previous 24 hours. 

    

NSW Health is treating 78 COVID-19 cases, none of whom are in intensive care. Most cases (92 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in Special Health Accommodation.

     

As reported yesterday afternoon, the viral genome sequence from the recent COVID-19 case who works at a Sydney quarantine hotel complex does not match the virus strains seen in recent clusters in Australia.

    

The virus may be of United States origin. The source of infection may be international aircrew who were self-isolating in the hotel at the time, however investigations are continuing.

    

NSW is working with Commonwealth agencies to identify potential COVID-19 cases among aircrew who stayed at the hotel, who may have since departed Australia.

    

Testing of close contacts of the case is continuing, with no further positive results.

    

As previously reported, the case travelled on a number of train and light rail services between 27 and 30 November, including trains between Minto and Lidcombe and Lidcombe and Central, and light rail between Central and Capitol Square and Central and Convention. If you travelled on any of these routes on these dates, please visit the NSW Health website for further details of times and further actions required from passengers. The website includes updated information on close and casual contacts.

    

Additionally, anyone living in the Minto and Lidcombe areas who is feeling unwell - no matter how mild their symptoms - is urged to come forward immediately for testing, and to isolate until a negative result is received.
