Three aged care residents at a northwest Sydney facility have caught COVID-19 from an infected staff member and are among the 16 new local cases across NSW.
All three residents were fully vaccinated against the virus and the facility's operator says all are currently asymptomatic and in good spirits.
SummitCare Baulkham Hills said in a statement on Sunday the residents - a man in his 90s, a man in his 80s and a woman in her 80s - were transferred to Westmead Hospital as a precautionary measure but are doing well.
"The fact that the affected residents are showing no symptoms at this stage shows their early vaccinations have worked," a SummitCare spokesman said.
