NSW has recorded four new COVID-19 cases, including a second security guard who worked at a quarantine hotel in Sydney. Health authorities are investigating potential links to the other infected security guard.

NSW has recorded four new COVID-19 cases as the state opposition calls on the Berejiklian government to give hotel quarantine security staff full-time jobs to avoid a Victorian-style outbreak.

He worked at the Marriott Hotel in Sydney and tested positive after a week-long testing blitz on contacts after another security guard tested positive on 14 August.NSW Health on Sunday said contact tracing is underway as they investigate the source of his infection and potential links to the other infected security guard.

NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said the two guards worked the same shift on 3 August, while the newly-diagnosed guard also worked at Sheraton Grand Hyatt Park hotel on the night of 16 August.The guard who originally tested positive also worked across a number of venues after he was exposed. They want hotel guards to be given full-time positions within the quarantine system, to help contain the virus should more guards be exposed.The other cases reported on Sunday included two travellers in hotel quarantine and one linked to the Apollo Restaurant cluster in Potts Point.

NSW records nine new COVID-19 cases, two remain under investigationNSW Health issued an alert for Westfield Shopping Centre at Mt Druitt after it was confirmed a person visited the centre twice while infectious. Meh, who cares? After the Victoria CHO announced the overstating of death rates yesterday, it’s hardly worth worrying anymore. Positive tests and cases are 2 different things. Positive is not a diagnosis. How many of the nine have symptoms are being treated or in hospital So sad the SMH now deletes comments not aligning with their agenda.

NSW records 10 new COVID-19 cases, two remain under investigationA security guard working at Sydney’s Marriott Hotel, one of the hotels where returned travellers are placed into quarantine, has tested positive for COVID-19. News of the case came after NSW reported nine new cases in the latest 24-hour reporting period WHY HASN'T GLADYS RESIGNED? HOW CAN PEOPLE EVER TRUST HER AGAIN?! auspol do we know if it is the same strain as the other guard? is it a second breach or the formation of a cluster related to the first breach? Can I ask why the government is still allowing travelers to enter Australia with covid19? FFS keep it out. We’re an island nation. Not that hard.
