There are fears the Northern Beaches coronavirus outbreak is spreading through greater Sydney.

, which prompted other states to strengthen their borders against Sydney travellers.

Northern Beaches residents are under stay-at-home orders last imposed back in March at the height of the COVID-19 crisis. "We're hoping that will give us sufficient time to get on top of the virus, so that we can then ease up for Christmas and the New Year," she said.Travel restrictions are changing after Sydney's latest outbreak.

Yep that's true spirit, ramp up the fear, feed the panic. Good grief

And then there’s the unexplained commute to the CBD from Mona Vale, three days in a row, by a confirmed case, that has NOT yet led to any new locations being added. Can someone ask GladysB: Where did they go after getting off the bus? NorthernBeaches COVID19nsw NSWHealth

We’ve seen the travel from the local cluster: Erskineville, Bondi Junction, Cronulla, Homebush, Forster. We just haven’t tested the right people yet to find the new cases.

Inevitable. First: local cluster. Then: travel from the cluster. Next: new cases from the travel. Finally: new local cluster. Repeat until transmission rates are stamped down to an R of less than 1.

Same strain as the Woodville Pizza bar?

FFS why are we dicing with this, ALL international arrivals and crew should land in an isolated location and clear quarantine before they head to Australian cities, including quarantine staff

This time around get it right. Close all borders . Strict International rules .

This is so confusing. This article's quoting Gladys as saying that there's no evidence that it's outside Northern Beaches but as of yesterday there's been a confirmed case in Central Coast from someone travelling from NB. So which is it? 🤷🏽

And SBS (Socialist BS) is here to help create those fears.

It will spread

Go early. Go hard. Lockdown now!

It’s likely it will spread. Good luck to Sydney, I hope Gladys has the wherewithal she’ll need if it becomes really serious.

Just waiting for the entitled Karen’s to start showing

Really SBS. That’s a news headline / story. There are ‘fears’ ... Do better.

The media are misusing the word 'lockdown'. Lockdown means stay at home. It doesn't mean stay at home unless ..., which is GladysB 's version.

What didn't the English speaking ethnic European communities of the Northern Beaches understand?

This is no brainer conclusion. Forget about Christmas and Boxing Day. Gov should help business to get through this.ScottMorrisonMP GladysB

'STAY HOME' - That family, 'Nope'.
