A leading epidemiologist warns it could only take 'one highly infectious person' to spark a major coronavirus outbreak in NSW, despite the number of new cases remaining steady.

There have been 552 coronavirus cases in NSW since an infected patron walked into the Crossroads Hotel last month, but only 15 of them have authorities "anxious".Professor Gregory Dore said there could still be an upswing in the spread of COVID-19 in NSWHigh testing levels have helped contain the spread in NSW

Those 15 mysterious infections in NSW have the Premier worried how many other people in the community could be unknowingly creating COVID-19 clusters. Epidemiologist Gregory Dore said the continued daily cases in NSW had the potential to lead to an "upswing" in the spread of the virus. "A short-term closure of pubs, clubs, and restaurants should still be considered to enhance prospects of reaching zero community transmission."But Professor Dore said, for now, NSW appeared to be on a very different path to Victoria.

NSW Health data shows in the six weeks up until August 8 that 60 per cent of cases without a known source were residents of South-Western Sydney, while 25 per cent were from Western Sydney.

NSW records only five casesIt’s the best day for NSW’s coronavirus numbers in months, with just five cases recorded in the last 24 hours. I am proud of NSW. We will best this together and become champions together! Can't you find someone who'll claim the actual count is 47 times higher though? Plenty of winos in Surry Hills Meanwhile, every day you guys dig out some 'expert' saying the world is about to end if NSW doesn't lock down now. The other day when I looked up your 'expert' they turned out to be a GP. What ever happened to journalism.
