Dr Kerry Chant has warned it is a 'critical time' in the New South Wales virus response phase as authorities attempted to 'mop up' community transmission from the Crossroads Hotel cluster.

|Dr Kerry Chant has warned it is a "critical time" in the New South Wales virus response phase as authorities attempted to "mop up" community transmission from the Crossroads Hotel cluster. The NSW Chief Medical Officer confirmed 10 new coronavirus cases urging residents in Sydney's south west to "sustain high rates of testing" to ensure the state did not experience a Victoria-style second wave.

Dr Chant expressed concern over three cases which remained under investigation because it indicated authorities may have "missed a chain". "Some of the individuals have been able to spread the virus and infect quite a number of their household group," she said. "It highlights we have the impression the people we're associating with are safe... but household contacts and social groups are the most likely to infect you.

Crossroads hotel outbreak continues to grow as NSW records 10 new COVID-19 casesThe south-west Sydney cluster is a more infectious form of the virus than previously seen, the state's Chief Health Officer says, as NSW recorded 10 new cases of COVID-19 Evidently not enough testing stations Sth West Syd so people coming to Hunter New Eng JH hosp etc for tests. Instead of self iso are out & about in eateries clubs pubs fuel stations etc so watch out for spread to Hunter! More testing Sth West Syd as queues unacceptable to many! One of Daniel Andrews spies sent up to ruin GladysB’s opening stages of the economy. God I wish I could lick her toes. Isn't it just that there are some people who are really talented at spreading the virus (super spreaders)? This is misleading because it implies there is a new mutation.

Health officials clearly have no handle on this virus. Why are we just learning now that COVID19 now has different levels of infectiousness and we are running hell bent towards a vaccine! Bizarre As the tests do not diagnose any particular strand of corona , they are probably finding the H1N1 flu which is around and way more infectious. Troubling is doctors are saying they are not allowed to test pple for flu ❤️ Melbourne COVID19Aus COVID19Vic ❤️

NSW confirms 13 new infections as Crossroads Hotel cluster grows to 34 | Sky News AustraliaNSW health authorities have confirmed 13 new coronavirus cases in the state, including 10 linked to the Crossroads Hotel cluster in Sydney’s south-west. \n\nChief Health Minister Dr Kerry Chant confirmed six of the new confirmed infections attended the hotel, while two were close contacts and two others contracted the virus after attending the Planet Fitness gym in Casula which was also associated with the hotel outbreak. \n\nA total of 34 infections have so far linked with the Crossroads Hotel. \n\n“I think this highlights the rapidity in which COVID can spread and the importance of us identifying these cases very rapidly,” Ms Chant said. \n\nShe advised staff and patrons who attended the Casula gym between July 4 and July 10 to present themselves for testing and self-isolate for 14 days. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Just goes to show how a liberal state leader has failed to close a border fast enough to stop this virus entering the state and now risking lockdowns ... but Sky will support the liberal NSW leader and continue their attack on Vic and Qld leaders as it suits their agenda So What - Todate -out of 10,251 there have been NO deaths in people under the age of 40! There have only been 3 deaths in people under the age of 60!! Protect those most at risk and get on with living for the rest.
