Shocking scenes have emerged of Boxing Day shoppers at Parramatta Westfield in Sydney s west.
A video posted on Twitter by @nasemallam showed the major shopping centre heaving with shoppers. Although some were seen wearing masks, the majority were not following social distancing requirements. This makes me sick to my stomach- we will see the effects of this in a few days at Westmead, read one response.
Seven New Covid-19 Cases Recorded in NSW
NSW has recorded seven new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases and set another record for the number of tests done in a 24-hour period.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian has cautioned Sydneysiders to “think twice” before going to Boxing Day sales in Sydney’s CBD because of concerns there may have been transmission there.
The seven new cases identified in the 24 hours to 8pm on Christmas Eve are all connected to the northern beaches, and six were already in isolation, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on December 25.
Four cases are part of the Avalon cluster, bringing the total number of cases in it to 108.
