NSW Health is working with Monopole Restaurant at Potts Point to assess the risk to patrons and staff who may have been exposed to COVID-19 when a person who was infectious visited there from 6 to 8pm on Sunday.
“Contact tracing is underway, and NSW Health will contact close and casual contacts directly, but anyone who was at Monopole that evening should monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if they develop,” NSW Health said in a statement.
“After testing, they must remain in isolation until a negative test result is received.”

NSW has reported 10 new COVID-19 cases – five are returned overseas travellers in hotel quarantine and the remaining five are locally acquired cases linked to a known case or cluster.
“Four of the new locally acquired cases reported today are associated with the private health clinic cluster,” NSW Healths aid.
“Three of these are household contacts of a case reported yesterday and the fourth is a co-worker of a case reported yesterday. There are now seven cases associated with this cluster. Investigations into its source are ongoing.
“One of today’s locally acquired cases is included in the total numbers for NSW, but all indications are that it is an old case most likely acquired when the virus was circulating at low levels in South Western Sydney around August. This case is associated with the Liverpool Hospital cluster.”
NSW Health is currently treating 52 COVID-19 cases, including two in intensive care.
“Neither patient requires ventilation. Eighty-seven per cent of cases being treated by NSW Health are in non-acute, out-of-hospital care,” it said.
