SYDNEY - Australia’s most populous state reported 14 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, with a growing cluster at a pub used by freight drivers travelling the country adding to fears of a second national wave of the virus.
The new cases in New South Wales come after neighbouring Victoria state last week forced about 5 million people back into lockdown after a surge of new coronavirus cases. The bulk of these community transmission cases were people who recently visited a pub in southwest Sydney, the Crossroads Hotel, taking the cluster to 13 in all.
“It may not be our peak yet,” Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton told reporters in Melbourne. “I would like to see a week of decreasing numbers.”
Drunks in a bar are accused of spreading a disease? NEVER! Okay, only since the first bar was opened.
Oh no, not another liberal media poster child gone bad...
Aussies, we are not so different, unfortunately. 🦠 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 🦠
