25.01.2022 Celebrating Christmas in July in true style!

25.01.2022 NSW recorded three locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Two additional new locally acquired cases were notified this morning i...n the Northern Beaches area in a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s. The source of these two new infections, which will be included in tomorrow’s case numbers, is under investigation and further updates will be provided throughout the day as information becomes available. NSW Health is now investigating five locally acquired cases. Four are in the Northern Beaches, and one case is a resident of south Sydney. Six cases were also reported in returned travellers in hotel quarantine in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, bringing the total number of cases in NSW to 4,477 since the beginning of the pandemic. There were 10,583 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with 11,922 in the previous 24 hours. One of the locally acquired cases, first reported yesterday morning, is a man in his 40s from the south Sydney area. He is a bus driver who transports aircrew to and from their hotels. All contacts tested to date as part of the investigation into this case, including household contacts and work colleagues, have tested negative. This man attended a sporting event while infectious. Anyone at the event at the times indicated is considered a casual contact. However, as a precaution we are advising any adults who were present to get tested immediately and isolate until they receive a negative result. They should continue to monitor for symptoms and if any symptoms occur, get tested again. Children who were present should be monitored for symptoms and get tested if any symptoms occur.

Both of these cases visited a number of venues in the northern area of the Northern beaches while infectious. For a list of current venues of concern, please visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates Urgent investigation and contact tracing is ongoing into all locally acquired cases. Urgent whole genome sequencing results for the south west Sydney case and the first two cases from the Northern Beaches are being done.
