Some venues on Sydney's Northern Beaches are so concerned about a growing local coronavirus cluster they have voluntarily closed this weekend to help contain the outbreak.
Key points:
Pubs, bars, clubs and churches on the Northern Beaches have closed voluntarily
NSW Health wants local residents to wear masks in public but doctors say it should be mandatory
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard last night took to Twitter to thank the venues, which he said included churches, cafes, bars and all but three pubs in the region.
