NSW coronavirus: State records one new case as exposure site list grows
New South Walesâ coronavirus outbreak is kicking off again, with the state recording a new case after an aircrew driver and his wife tested positive.
New South Walesâ coronavirus battle is kicking off again, with the state recording another case, a day after an aircrew driver and his wife tested positive.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the new case was a woman aged in her 70s, who had attended a cafe in Sydneyâs east at the same time as the original couple.
Ms Berejiklian said it was important anyone who who was at the Belle Cafe, 103 New South Head Road in Vaucluse on June 13 between 10.20am to 11.45am to isolate for 14 days and get tested ASAP.
The aircrew driver has been diagnosed with the highly infectious Delta strain and the genomic sequencing on his virus matches one from the US.
Chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said it was âconcerningâ the driver had transmitted in a cafe.
Another possible case â a man from Baulkam Hills in Sydneyâs west â was also found however authorities are investigating if it is a false positive.
The cases were found among more than 23,000 tests.
Ms Berejiklian said the government was holding off on imposing any restrictions but urged Sydneysiders, especially those from the east, to refrain from engaging in big gatherings.
âIf youâre catching public transport, we recommend people wear a mask. At this stage, weâre all on high alert,â she said.
âWeâre asking people to modify their activity, to consider where theyâve been, what their movements have been and what their movements may be until we go through the next few days as the situation is evolving.â
Police investigate movements of aircrew driver
NSW Police have been tasked with investigating if the aircrew worker, who drives a limousine to transport flight crew, had complied with all his necessary infection controls.
âThere is no room for complacency. Being slack about what the health authorities ask you to do is just inexcusable. We have to make sure that we all follow the rules,â Health Minister Brad Hazzard said.
âNow, the police are obviously investigating the particular circumstances surrounding the limousine-driver and I wonât be commenting specifically on that limousine driver or those investigations, but what I will remind all drivers who pick people up from the airport more broadly is that you have obligations and your obligations are legal and they are to get saliva-tested every day and to make sure you wear appropriate PPE.
âIf you donât do that, youâre breaching the orders and the police will investigate you.â
NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys said police would continue their investigation âuntil we finish with an outcome that we can actually draw some conclusions, and take some action if we have toâ.
Mr Worboys said police were already looking into any potential issues they can rectify.
Police are also investigating if the driver was vaccinated and if he was wearing a mask.
