NSW has reported one new case of locally transmitted COVID-19 today – just as Queensland Premier Annastacia Palasczcuk slammed the border door shut to Sydneysiders.
Six cases were reported in overseas travellers in hotel quarantine in NSW to 8pm last night, bringing the state’s total number of cases to 4,228.
While no cases were recorded overnight, a new case was detected this morning and will be added to official figures tomorrow.
“NSW Health can advise there has been an additional case reported since 8pm last night in south west Sydney,” the health authority said today.
“This case attended the Flip Out Prestons Indoor Trampoline Park, Unit B/238 Hoxton Park Road, Prestons on Sunday 25 October.
“The public health advice for those who attended the venue at this time has now been upgraded.
“Anyone who attended this venue from 11am to 2pm is now considered a close contact and must get tested immediately and isolate for a full 14 days from exposure regardless of the result.
“This increases the exposure time of previous advice which focused on those who were at the venue for an hour between 12pm to 1.50pm.”
NSW Health also advised anyone who attended the trampoline park after 2pm on October 25 to now consider themselves a casual contact and said they should monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if they develop.
“After testing, they must remain in isolation until a negative test result is received.”
NSW Health is also calling on anyone who attended Jasmins Lebanese Restaurant, 375 Macquarie Street, Liverpool, on October 25, between 2pm to 3.30pm to be aware they are considered a close contact and to get tested immediately and isolate for a full 14 days from exposure regardless of the result.
While contact tracing is now underway, NSW Health said it continued to work with the venue to identify those in attendance.
NSW Health last night issued a public health alert related to the F45 gym, 1640 Camden Valley Way, Leppington, across an extensive list of dates and times.
NSW Health says anyone who attended the venue at the below times is considered a close contact and should get tested immediately and isolate for a full 14 days from exposure regardless of the result:
- Thursday 15 October, 5.15pm – 6pm;
- Saturday 17 October, 8.10am – 9.10am;
- Sunday 18 October, 8.55am – 9.40am;
- Monday 19 October, 5.50am – 6.35am;
- Tuesday 20 October, 5.50am – 6.35am;
- Wednesday 21 October, 5.15pm – 6pm;
- Thursday 22 October, 6.45am – 7.30am;
- Friday 23 October, 9.35am – 10.20am;
- Saturday 24 October, 7.10am – 8.10am;
- Sunday 25 October, 8.55am – 9.40am;

- Tuesday 27 October, 6.45am – 7.30am;
- Wednesday 28 October, 5.50am – 6.35am.
“Anyone who attended a class that was scheduled to begin five minutes before or five minutes after one of the classes listed above, or a class immediately before or after the sessions, is considered a casual contact and must monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if they develop,” NSW Health said.
“After testing, they must remain in isolation until a negative test result is received.”
“NSW Health is particularly calling on the people of south west Sydney, where there have been a number of recent cases in the community, to come forward for testing.
“When we have high numbers of people continuing to get tested, that allows us to detect cases in the community earlier and prevent onward transmission.
“NSW Health has been able to get the recent clusters in south west Sydney under control with the support of the community, but their emergence shows that the risk of a resurgence of cases in NSW remains very real if we don’t continue to practise COVID-safe behaviours and get tested immediately when symptoms appear.”
It said most people receive their test results within 24 hours.
