NSW Health has announced more venue alerts for Sydney's CBD, Bondi Junction and Tempe as authorities race to halt the spread of the latest COVID-19 cluster

Eastern suburbs residents have been warned coronavirus testing rates are “nowhere near” what they should be in an outbreak, as other states start to place restrictions on travel.

People who attended the following venues should immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result is received:Bondi Junction Coles, also within Eastgate, on Monday from 10am to 10.30amSquare Sandwiches on George Street, in Sydney CBD, on Tuesday from 2.45pm to 3.15pm and Wednesday from 2.45pm to 3.15pmEither the Chemist Warehouse at 133-135 Oxford Street or the one at 211 Oxford Street, both at Bondi Junction, on Wednesday from 5.

“On the northern beaches, we were getting up to 70,000 a day, so we know people are capable,” Mr Hazzard said.To boost testing rates, NSW Health said anyone who attended Bondi Junction Westfield during these times and does not have symptoms does not need to isolate after their test. Isolation requirements remain in place for other people presenting for testing, and people who attended stores listed as specific exposure sites within the Westfield.

There have also been reports the driver was not vaccinated. Asked if NSW could introduce mandatory vaccination for quarantine workers, Mr Hazzard said it “effectively” could but it had “generally” been the position that the state would follow national cabinet guidance on the issue.National cabinet will meet on Monday, when the impact of recent advice to give people in their 50s the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on the national rollout will be discussed.

WA tightens border rules for NSW travellers as Bondi COVID cluster growsAll travellers arriving in Western Australia from NSW will have to get tested for COVID-19 and quarantine until they return a negative result under new border rules triggered by the Bondi cluster | MartaPascual3 MartaPascual3 If we want to *control a virus* ... an 'invisible-enemy' with a 99%+ survival rate that's spread by asymptomatic humans (and seasonally, apparently) ... is our only real option - to *control the humans*? Just 'tell them they are being attacked'! Are WE gullible? MartaPascual3 Why do we still have these broad categories? How hard would it be for WA to differentiate parts of NSW?! Ridiculous to ask someone from Newcastle or Broken Hill to isolate. MartaPascual3 On behalf of everyone in the Tweed region, thanks a lot Sydney.
