The premier said it was a cause for concern that half of the new cases had been out in the community while infectious. If we want the lockdown to succeed, all of us have to minimise our movements, she said. In too many examples we are seeing workers who are leaving the house with symptoms or going to work with symptoms.
17 of those are linked to previously confirmed cases.
The Bondi cluster now consists of 175 cases and a total of 195 cases have been confirmed in NSW since June 16, 2021.
Premier, Gladys Berejiklian noted this morning that a number of people were active in the community while infectious.
She is urging people to get tested when the mildest symptoms develop.
