Three family members diagnosed with COVID-19 in hotel quarantine picked up the virus from fellow returned travellers, NSW Health has confirmed.
Health detectives believe the three cases picked up the virus from a family of four who stayed in the adjoining room of the Adina Apartment Hotel at Sydney s Town Hall.
Health was tipped off to the transmission after all seven people had the same sequence of the virus, despite arriving from different countries at different times.
The three cases have now been reclassified as locally acquired instead of overseas acquired, the government said on Sunday.
NSW recorded no new locally acquired cases of #COVID19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
Dirt-Cheap Flights on Sale as Covid-Hit Airlines Take on Rivals
Bloomberg 3/10/2021 Angus Whitley
(Bloomberg) Dirt-cheap fares are popping up from airlines brave enough to expand or start out amid the Covid crisis, as they try to eke out sales and get a jump on competitors that have pared back operations.
Airlines worldwide cut $1 billion of expenses a day last year to cope with the slump in passengers, and that’s given them some wiggle room to lower ticket prices. More broadly, cost savings are emerging for carriers as unwanted planes become available on the cheap. Thousands of laid off flight crew are also eager for work, allowing some airlines to go on hiring sprees.
