Is this another dangerous misstep in our battle against the coronavirus? According to the Premier, the source of the northern beaches outbreak is from overseas and not an existing community strain (“Northern beaches cluster reaches 28 cases”, smh.com.au, December 18).

As at least half of COVID-19 cases are symptomless, this is surely a recipe for disaster.
