NSW records 291 local COVID-19 cases, at least 50 infectious in the community

NSW has reported 291 new local coronavirus cases on Friday, the highest number of cases ever recorded in the state within a 24-hour period.

Twelve staff members at KFC Punchbowl in Sydney’s south-west have tested positive to COVID-19. Anyone who was at the store between July 27 and August 2 is considered a close contact.“We are seeing is some flattening of the curve in Fairfield and some of our other local government areas, but ... we are seeing escalating cases in Campsie, Bankstown, Lakemba, Punchbowl, Wiley Park, Yagoona, Greenacre, Earlwood and Chester Hill,” Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said.

“Sadly, the lady was exposed by a health worker who worked across two wards, the aged-care ward and the ward this woman was in,” Dr Chant said. A 23-year-old man from the Illawarra was charged with fraud after allegedly texting his boss to say he could not come to work in Newcastle as he had tested positive for COVID-19.
