Of today’s 16 new locally acquired cases, 13 were in isolation throughout their infectious periods and one case was in isolation for part of their infectious period. Two cases were infectious in the community.
Three of today’s new cases – a woman in her 80s, a man in his 80s, and a man in his 90s – are residents of the SummitCare Baulkham Hills aged care facility.
All three are fully vaccinated, but out of an abundance of caution, they have been offered transfer to Westmead Hospital for observation. No further residents have tested positive to date.
These three cases were identified following investigation and testing of contacts of a previously reported case in a healthcare worker. Two of this person’s social contacts, who are aged care workers, became infected and worked at SummitCare Baulkham Hills while infectious.
