The source of NSW’s growing Omicron Covid-19 cluster has been discovered, with more cases of the new variant confirmed overnight.

Genome sequencing has uncovered six new Omicron infections, bringing the total number of cases of the variant in NSW to 31.

The source of this cluster is believed to be a returned overseas traveller who arrived in Sydney from Doha on flight QR908 on November 23. This person had spent time in Nigeria.“This number does not include an ACT resident whose infection is believed to have been acquired through attending the Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym in Villawood on Saturday 27 November,” NSW Health said.

Some of the new Omicron infections have been recorded in school-aged children, with at least one confirmed case being a student at St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School in Regents Park. Contact tracing and genome sequencing is underway on several Covid cases identified within the school community. • Covid-safe check-ins will no longer be required for all businesses. It will still be a requirement for hospitals, aged and disability care facilities, gyms, places of worship, funerals or memorial services, personal services , pubs, small bars and registered clubs, nightclubs, strip clubs and indoor music festivals with more than 1000 people.The mask requirement will be removed for the majority of settings in NSW.

NSW yet again, how surprised are we.

So once more a foreigner from a shthole country brought back a disease that is killing people. Thank god it's not ebola. won't be long before it is something like ebola. And then despite it dissolving a human from the inside out there will still be people who demand open borders.

Not discovered. Believed to be from ....meaning...nsw health still don't know for sure.

This is hilarious..... its seriously a cut and paste job!! This only proves this article is paid advertising and journalism is dead in Australia. Have a read and see if you can pick up... lets say... the errors!!

Who cares?

'NSW Premier Daniel Andrews'... in such a hurry to push out a covid article they didn't even read it before posting lol.

Q: How do you spot the propaganda disinformation teams on social media? A: The amount of dipshit similar linked, grouped & aligned accounts mass flood replying on COVID posts by ANY media source. **Tip: Almost all will have an identical [if not a direct copy/paste] style post.

Victoria records 1,073 new COVID-19 cases as Omicron continues to spread in NSWVictoria has recorded 1,073 new COVID-19 infections and another six deaths, as the premier pledges to try to keep the state's border open amid the Omicron variant spreading elsewhere. Victoria. Covid rife. Despite 90% vaccination rates. Qld would be insane to open to them. Just look. At SA. Struggling to contain infections despite only allowing vaccinated people in. These passports don't work.
