NSW's COVID-19 operations manager and epidemiologist Jennie Musto said the first clues were supplied via two simultaneous interviews of seemingly unconnected cases. A man in the Nepean told contact tracers he had been to the Crossroads Hotel, and a woman told tracers at Liverpool Hospital she had also had dinner at the venue.
"We've identified all the links at this point in time, but we'll get more cases and we'll have to identify further links with them and further contacts and get them all to go into isolation as well," she said.She said the community cannot lose sight of the fact that COVID-19 was a "stealthy virus" that could be spreading throughout other parts of Sydney and NSW.
The Northern Territory has declared Greater Metropolitan Sydney a coronavirus hotspot. It means anyone from Sydney travelling to the NT must enter mandatory quarantine when its borders reopen on Friday. Dr Chant urged the public to get tested if they develop any symptoms no matter their location, flagging a new testing target of more than 23,000 swabs per day.NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard supported the use of masks if people were in a public space where they could not maintain social distancing, stressing the importance of hand hygiene, and isolating if unwell.
