The NSW Health Minister says the Hilltops lockdown will be extended by a week, but stay-at-home orders for Glen Innes and Orange lift at midnight after the state recorded 1,063 new COVID-19 cases and six deaths.

A COVID-19 outbreak at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney's west is still under investigation after 24 patients and five staff, including an intensive care unit nurse, contracted the virus over a week.

Mr Hazzard said serology results, which were yet to be returned, would allow authorities to investigate how the virus spread through several wards. "They are trying to work out what has actually occurred with the intrusion fo the virus into the hospital ... but almost every hospital in the world has had intrusions," he said.

"Worldwide, hospitals are places that people come in when they are sick with COVID so there is always a risk.""Of course I'm concerned but I'm also concerned that the media doesn't overstate the case and cause panic in the community when it's not necessary."This is the third COVID outbreak at Liverpool Hospital which has been one of the hardest hit by the Delta outbreak given its location in Western Sydney where cases continue to be the highest in the state.

COVID-positive truck driver from NSW sparks virus concern in WA and SAA truck driver who travelled through both South Australia and Western Australia has sparked a COVID-19 scare after testing positive for the virus upon his return to New South Wales. If we can't get transport workers vaccinated how can we stop Covid spreading? NSW is a Covid disaster zone. Something needs to be done about all these infected truck drivers. If vaccines should be mandated in any industry, its this. If they are & so many are still getting infected, it doesn't bode well for our future & makes a mockery of vaxx passports
