MORNING BRIEFING: The schools and preschool, in Sydney's west and south-west, are closing — some for the second time — while the State Government reject calls for making masks compulsory on 'overcrowded' trains and buses.

Several Sydney government and Catholic schools and a preschool will be closed today because of confirmed or suspected coronavirus cases.

Members of a family with a student at both Mary Immaculate Primary School in Bossley Park and at Freeman Catholic College in Bonnyrigg Heights, have tested positive, although neither child went to school yesterday.Masks are mandated in Melbourne, including on public transport, but NSW is not following suit — for now.

But Transport Minister Andrew Constance said the laws would be unnecessary, as 98 per cent of services were now complying with physical distancing guidelines introduced at the start of the month. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau report said air traffic controllers detected the problem and alerted both aircraft, issuing instructions to separate.

NSW Police said a silver sedan was driving along the avenue at the time of the shooting, while a red hatchback drove away from the scene shortly after.Mr Mullins also said more aerial firefighting resources are needed.

NSWHealth please answer: smitchellmlc 'allowed' masks in schools, is it your medical advice? If so, does this mean that schools are not safe anymore? If masks are used, why social distancing doesn't apply? Can you explain the VIC school clusters? covid19australia

They know the whole 'for now' thing doesn't work right. Mask up now.

It’s wrong and definitely taking Australians towards a Right Wing Conservative War. Caroleina2 Not the yacht club! Thai Rock Management arrested for illegal Numbers Gathering?
