The number of coronavirus cases in NSW has jumped from 65 to 77 overnight and the NSW Premier says there will be a further review of mass gatherings across the state.Those who return from any overseas travel feeling unwell should not attend mass gatheringsCoronavirus has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation"There is no need to massively change what you are doing but it's not business as usual," she said.

and called on countries to take urgent action because"[we] can still change the course" of the virus. Chief Medical Officer Dr Kerry Chant said the majority of infections in NSW were acquired overseas and 32 cases were contacts of confirmed cases."Overnight we have seen cases diagnosed in people without overseas travel, those cases are being thoroughly interviewed to ensure that we can identify any links to other confirmed cases," she said.High test numbers mean further spread will be restricted, she said.

"If you look at the testing numbers in some countries overseas you can see that they've actually had very, very low rates of testing and hence the spread of the virus can become unrecognised until you're dealing with deaths," she said.

I think the headline should be Chinese students spreading in NSW...

Let's keep an eye out guys! Look! Over there! I see one! Poor Chinese or Chinese looking fella just walking pass by.

comparing against Italy's cases per day, Australia is where they were about 10 days ago. They are now in a situation where hospitals do not have enough ventilators to keep all the sick people breathing, over 60's do not get one. Australia should act now to slow the spread

new improved CSIRO(Certified Science Is a Rort Office) has wasted no time in inventing toilet paper that requires no hand sanitation to save those areas drought affected on wasting water that is required for cotton wool and coal export

Still thinking? Stop mass gathering right now, no more time for review!

How can you be alert for something you don't see? And can't fight?

Surprise, NSW! 86,000 people were at the MCG last weekend! China builds makeshift hospitals and forcibly quarantined millions....Australians buy dunny roll after watching women’s cricket. Stupid is as stupid does.

Be alert as foreign students dodge travel bans and airports remain open! Be alert for moronic politicians telling you to be alert more like it!

Denmark shutting down...some 500 cases

How can you be alert its not something you see coming at you ?

Thank you China !
