The Avalon coronavirus cluster in Sydney’s Northern Beaches has grown to 38 infections as the area officially goes into lockdown.

NSW recorded 23 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm on Friday night; 21 of the cases are linked to the Avalon cluster while the other two have an unknown source. Health authorities are however confident they will find a link to the Avalon cluster.

State Premier Gladys Berejiklian is expecting to see a similar number of positive cases on Sunday, flagging the possibly of the Northern Beaches lockdown being extended to other suburbs or the whole city. “We want people essentially just to stay home tonight and the next few nights so that we can ensure the virus doesn’t spread,” Ms Berejiklian said. If nothing changes, the Northern Beaches lockdown will end at 12.01am on Christmas Eve.

Fourteen COVID-19 cases in NSW still unlinked, one month after Avalon outbreak discoveredFour weeks on from discovering the Northern Beaches outbreak, NSW Health is still trying to link 14 recent coronavirus cases to known clusters. The nsw government is so inept. The unknown cases are growing and gladys/barilaro are happy to pat themselves on the back for 20,000 tests concluding 4 cases state wide daily. Come winter NSW will be in lockdown for a much longer period than Vic was Thought they have the best system in Oz, ScoMo told me and he is neutral when speaking on states standards....NOT!
