Health authorities are concerned the epicentre of NSW's COVID-19 outbreak has shifted to Canterbury-Bankstown, where more than a quarter of yesterday's record total of new cases were located.

Its mayor, Khal Asfour, said most people in the area were doing the right thing."We shouldn't be targeted as the epicentre when we're a large council area and the majority of people are doing the right thing.A NSW Police spokesperson said 335 penalty infringement notices were issued on Friday to people around the state who had breached the COVID-19 public health orders.

"They're out in the community, they're out servicing Greater Sydney in different industries and they might be bringing the virus back with them."Mr Hazzard put the spotlight on small businesses in the area, claiming many were not doing the right thing. Earlier this week, at least a dozen staff at a KFC store in Punchbowl, which is in the central part of the LGA, contracted COVID."If you comply with your COVID-safe plan, everybody wears a mask, they socially distance, they don't hang out in the tea room afterwards, they don't hang out chatting, then people won't get it.""You need to have a COVID-safe plan and stick to it because you don't want your business to be the one that gets shut down," Mr Hazzard said.

Just to clarify...the virus doesn't move, people do

The areas of most concern are those between the ears of Scummo, Bad Glad and Health Hazzard!

What are the numbers infected as a result of the Sydney protests?

just a total lockdown of the whole city bugger the cost No compo as it is a health emergency Let Meriton n Lendlease scream we dont give a shit

We’re now 20months into this pandemic. In that time we’ve watching in horror as it decimated other countries, spreading from town to town. And yet here we are letting it spread, still claiming that ‘we’re learning’, still thinking penalising ppl is the way to go GladysFail

No its spreading every fucken where open your eyes gladys and brad are looking for people to blame when it was theirs own bloody fault for playing politics so less blame more fucken accountability i don't normally swear sorry for that just pissed of

Consider this :: June 8th there were just 2 cases - July 8th there were 45 cases Yesterday over 300+ cases It’s likely now this will continue and 300 will seem so small and trivial by comparison- this is possibly the beginnings of an unspeakably sad disaster - AZ now

Just curious,transmission power increased? Fishing fleets at Indian Ocean side will be the beneficiaries of ABC News Radio's weather services.
