Breaking: A pop-up testing clinic will open in Bondi, after an outbreak of coronavirus in the area. There are now 2032 cases in NSW, with 114 new cases overnight

But NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said the drop in numbers comes as fewer tests are being done. There are 164 people in hospital, including 35 in ICU, with 16 on ventilators."Do not gather more than 2 people outside or inside your home. This is important because we know the number of cases is increasing," Ms Berejiklian said.But the Premier warned against being too hopeful that NSW had turned a corner and the curve had flattened.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said 13 people had been fined for flouting social distancing rules but that did not mean people could not leave home for important reasons. "If you need to exercise, we get it. If you need to go to the shops to get some food, absolutely acceptable. But the messaging has not been getting through to some people," Commissioner Fuller said.

Dr Chant said there would be extra testing in various hot spots, including a pop-up site in Bondi as well as working with local GPs.She said there needed to be extra testing where there is clear community transmission and areas of "active clusters".Dr Chant also expressed concern about "the weekend effect", where we may be seeing a decline in cases now because people were less likely to present with symptoms for testing on the weekend, when many GPs are shut.

"I suppose I'm just very cautious in interpreting the numbers because I know that whenever I interpret a number, it has to be interpreted in the context of the testing rates," she said. "But I'm urging increased testing and particularly aligned to active clusters and community transmission."The Commissioner said the health system was designed around populations and could not cope if "people flooded the south coast or the north coast".

What absolute turd Fuller is, from overseeing strip searching young girls, sniffer dogs at train stations, targets for issuing fines, racist policing and a culture of bullying, racism, homophobia and sexism.

Send those muthafuckers back home! Why are they still here spreading corona and the clap?

How?

Why does the govt kee takk Li ing about Sydney’s East outbreak at Bondi , lock the area up 24 hours a day , these idiotic tourists are causing harm , another option is send the back packers back to London

🤦🏽

Confirmed ladies and gentleman... Bondi is a shithole! Fact

It seems like those in affluent areas are complacent

Many people will be positive as Corona virus is the term for common cold . Most have been exposed to the common cold . The test does not test the strain only the Corona family .

They will pop-up and disappear again, like schools and hospitals. The Queen Victoria Hospital in Adelaide opened in 1902, it operated until 1995, when it was amalgamated with Women's and Children's Hospital and the building converted into apartments, we don't need hospitals.

I'm sure the wing bridge of a cruise ship will be just the place to watch dotty little NSW Water Police boats sounding their sirens far below.

NSW must close all borders as they are half the population’s infected

Coronavirus or Covid19?

But where in Bondi? The beach? Bondi Road? Bondi Junction? etc

scomo puts in emergency call to the producers of Bondi Rescue and demands an immediate name change to “Rescue Bondi” bondirescue covid19au bondibeach rescuebondi

ScottMorrisonMP GladysB how is flattening the curve going?

Corona and STDs upsize

Filthy backpacker kunts

Do what they must. But to balance this circle-jerk of FUD from 99% of the media, here are the promising signs of a flattening curve we've been looking for:

What about Kings Cross ? Go for a walk and see the groups of backpackers hanging around because they’re in multi bed dorms. The next outbreak cluster waiting to happen.

Why didn’t the backpackers go home when they could? How are they going to support themselves now that there are no more casual jobs?

An outbreak? In this place? Who'd have guessed...

Well done morons

I wish kochie on Sunrise would shut up and stop focussing on the reduction of new cases ... there’s been a reduction in testing. There will now be pop up testing in Bondi as there is a cluster in Bondi ( Backpackers) sunriseon7 Stay at Hone and wash your hands

‘The buck stops with the Premier’: NSW Opposition Leader | Sky News AustraliaNSW Opposition Leader Jodie McKay says she hopes Premier Gladys Berejiklian “would go it alone” on Sunday night and enforce a state-wide lock-down to curb the spread of coronavirus.\n\nBoth the NSW and Victorian governments have flagged the possibility of instituting further lockdowns before the federal government does, but have so-far failed to go down this route.\n\nMs McKay said she believed the premier was “headed there two weeks ago” and continues to offer her support if Ms Berejiklian did decide to break from the National Cabinet and enforce a lockdown.\n\n“I believe it needs to be short, it needs to be hard, and it needs to be fast”.\n\nSpeaking about the Ruby Princess debacle, the opposition leader said “the buck stops with the premier on this” as there have already been 150 reported cases of coronavirus from the 2,700 passengers aboard the ship.\n\nMs McKay told Sky News host Sharri Markson the handling of the cruise ship crisis took it from “a Sydney issue to a NSW issue”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia JodiMcKayMP GladysB NSW CCP Stooges! JodiMcKayMP GladysB She's not alone. It's clear that a large number of Australian's don't take this virus, or the danger it poses to others with any seriousness. To protect those most at risk, we need a total lockdown. Please. JodiMcKayMP GladysB Yeah great idea !! Then the whole is the states workers except form essential workers will be a Centrelink. Let’s hope Jody McKay never becomes premier !! Remember lockdown means stand down = unemployment!!!!
