NSW records no new locally acquired COVID-19 cases

NSW Health has updated the list of venues that were visited by an infected hotel quarantine security guard who tested positive to COVID-19 over the weekend.

Anyone who visited the following places at the listed times is being urged to be on the lookout for symptoms and to get tested immediately if they appear.

  • Hurstville Aquatic Leisure Centre (stadium and gymnasium area) - Wednesday, March 10 between 4.15pm and 5.30pm
  • Coles Hurstville - Saturday, March 13 between 7.30am and 7.40am.

NSW Health has also revised the potential exposure times to the virus at the same grocery store on the March 10 with any shoppers or staff there between 9.15pm and 9.46pm also urged to monitor for symptoms.

Urgent contact tracing is underway after the state’s first positive COVID-19 case in 55 days was confirmed as a 47-year-old security guard at two quarantine hotels.

Of all venues known to have been visited by the man, the Pancakes on the Rocks at Beverly Hills is most concerning to NSW Health.
