COVID warning for Western Sydney venues
Three pubs and a shopping centre in Western Sydney have been added to a list of COVID-affected venues.
NSW Health issued alerts for the Village Tavern in Auburn, the Auburn Hotel and the Berala Hotel, as part of its investigation into the source of infection of a recently confirmed case.
Anyone who visited those venues at specific times between December 28 and January 14 is urged to get tested and self-isolate until they receive a negative result.
The state requires declared hotspots to record 28 consecutive days without any unlinked cases before it will remove quarantine requirements for travellers.
Genome sequencing indicated mystery cases identified in Sydney s west on the weekend were linked to the Berala cluster.
However, the source of infection for the group – a man and his six close contacts – is still unknown, resulting in an ongoing contact tracing effort.
People who attended Auburn s Village Tavern on December 28, January 7 or last Wednesday, the Berala Hotel on December 30 or the Auburn Hotel last Tuesday have been asked to come forward for testing after cases attended while potentially infectious.
Hundreds of pubgoers have been forced to quarantine after patrons visited three popular drinking holes in western Sydney while infected with Covid-19.
NSW Health said anyone at the Village Tavern in Auburn in western Sydney on six days across December and January must self-isolate until they receive a negative test result.
Punters who visited the Auburn Hotel on January 12 from 6pm until close must follow the same health orders.
