NSW recorded 18 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night – with 15 linked to Sydney’s Bondi cluster.
“Of the 18 new locally acquired cases recorded to 8pm last night, six were in isolation throughout their infectious periods,” NSW Health said in a statement.
“A further three cases were in isolation for part of their infectious periods.”
It said an additional two South Coogee Public School students had tested positive to COVID-19.
“These students are close contacts of the two previously reported cases at the school, bringing the total number of students with COVID-19 at South Coogee Public School to four.”
“Based on the additional cases and because there are a number of interactions between children in different year groups, all students are now close contacts and must get tested and self-isolate for 14 days regardless of a negative test result. The school site is non-operational and closed due to school holidays.
“NSW Health can advise one case today is a student of the Emanuel School in Randwick, who is a close contact of previously reported case linked to the Bondi cluster.”
It said five new cases were linked to the Great Ocean Foods seafood wholesaler in Marrickville, bringing the total number of cases acquired through Great Ocean Foods – including contacts of workers – to 16.
Any person – and their household contacts – who attended or directly received a delivery from Great Ocean Foods, Marrickville on Monday 21 June (all day) to Friday 25 June (all day) must immediately call NSW Health on 1800 943 553, get tested and isolate until NSW Health provides further advice.
Two new cases have been linked to the West Hoxton birthday party, bringing the total number of cases acquired through the birthday party to 31, including 24 people who acquired it at the party and subsequent contacts of those cases.
A COVID-19 case announced yesterday in the Glen Innes Severn Local Government Area is also included in today’s case numbers.
“The man in his 30s was exposed to the virus at the Granites gold mine in the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory. He has remained in isolation since his return home and there is no current risk of infection to the local community. This case is not linked to the Bondi cluster,” NSW Health said.
