Sydney COVID-19 cluster grows to 38

Popular venues in Sydney’s inner city and inner west have been added to NSW Health’s growing warning list as authorities track COVID-19’s spread from the Northern Beaches cluster.

Strawberry Hills Hotel in Surry Hills and the Sydney Trapeze School in St Peters were among the additions announced late on Saturday night, while Manly Skiff Club and Mona Vale Golf Club’s bar and function room were added to the even longer list on Sunday.

Many of the other new sites and dates NSW Health has identified are located on the Northern Beaches, which has gone into lockdown as authorities battle to contain the outbreak stemming from Avalon.

Hundreds of people who attended Anytime Fitness in the suburb have now been told they are considered close contacts of known cases who went to the gym over several days while infectious.

“Anyone who attended the gym on any day on or after Tuesday 8 December is considered a close contact and should get tested immediately and self-isolate for 14 days after they were last at the gym,” NSW Health said in a statement.

“Additionally, anyone who attended the gym between Monday 23 November and Monday 7 December is advised to get tested and self-isolate until they receive a negative result.

“Anytime Fitness Avalon is closed until further notice and is undergoing cleaning.”

People across Greater Sydney are urged to monitor for symptoms and get tested if they feel unwell.
