Ten new local COVID-19 cases recorded in NSW as mandatory masks extended for seven days

Ten new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases have been recorded in New South Wales, taking the number of infections linked to a Sydney cluster to 21, amid fresh fears over"fleeting" transmission at a Bondi Junction shopping centre.

The three new cases included in Tuesday's numbers include a woman in her 60s from the Illawarra, a woman in her 40s from Sydney's northern suburbs, and a woman in her 20s from the eastern suburbs who is believed to have contracted the virus through"fleeting contact" while working at Westfield Bondi Junction.

The seventh case is a child who attends St Charles Catholic Primary School in Waverley and the source of the infection is currently unknown. "A very fleeting exchange or a very fleeting coexistence has actually allowed the virus to transfer and highlights how contagious it is."

No time for tit for tat between states on COVID management. It is in the interest of all Australians that our biggest economies NSW & Victoria get on top of outbreaks and minimise shutdowns.

wow so radical and bold extending the mask mandate to everywhere in Sydney. That'll lick it

There are motels in WALKING distance from the airport entrance. Why the hell do you need chauffeurs?

Bugger!

It’s called lockdown when people are asked to stay home unless necessary.

The new C19 media buzzword; 'fleeting', mentioned six times in this article. Keep the fear going

I wouldn’t wish an outbreak on any state, but I hope this encourages a little perspective for non Victorians, about just how easily 2 or 3 cases can quickly get out of control.

How many are actually in hospital? Or are they at home with a runny nose

Be brave Gladys! You just can’t copy Vic to lockdown. Let’s live as normal

Gladys pretty arrogant about doing things the NSW way...we will see if that works for them now.

Australia has no suitable quarantine facilities, almost no vaccines, a Prime Minister on holiday in the UK Fortunately Barnaby Joyce is acting PM now 😇

Gonna call a lockdown Gladys? You know you want to...

Why have half of Australia not been vaccinated at this point

Hubris. COVID_19 It's Winter. We expected this. COVID_19AUSTRALIA

Gladys has to put the health and welfare of the public before politics

Gold standard Gladdy

Why isn't ALL of Sydney metro, including the Hills district wearing masks. Gladys has lost her mind. She wants us to have an outbreak.
