Novotel Sydney Manly Pacific added to growing NSW exposure site list

An explosion of NSW covid exposure sites overnight has caused concern about a potential upswing in the number of infections.

NSW authorities watch cases closely as more exposure sites recorded

A huge number of new covid exposure sites in NSW is causing concern about a potential rise in coronavirus cases across Sydney.

Just after 10pm last night, NSW Health issued an emergency alert, listing dozens of new exposure sites.

With the highly-infectious Delta variant on the loose in Sydney the fear is that there could be a significant increase in new cases of Covid-19 this weekend.

The state recorded another 24 new local cases on Thursday, half of which were not in isolation during their infectious period.

Nieo’s Grille in Earlwood and Bluey’s Swim School in Bankstown have been included in the state’s close contact venue list.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Thursday raised concerns people were going to work while symptomatic.

“The fact that half (of Thursday’s new cases) were in the community while infectious is a cause of concern,” she said.
