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.

Four cases of COVID-19 has so far been linked to venues in the centre of Sydney s CBD with three cases associated with the Paragon Hotel Sports Bar, near Circular Quay.
Two people attended last week, both testing positive while a third case was linked to the venue.
A man who worked 500 metres down the road was also a confirmed case.
Authorities said the infections were similar to those in the Northern Beaches -but the link remained a mystery.
Meanwhile, another cluster has emerged in the inner-city suburb of Paddington.
An employee worked three days at the Alimentari Deli while infectious before testing positive.
More Sydney venues have been put on coronavirus alert as the Northern Beaches cluster continues to spread.
NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said authorities are concerned about a potential outbreak in the CBD after three new COVID-19 cases were connected to Paragon Hotel Sports Bar at Circular Quay.
The Northern Beaches COVID cluster has further extended its reach, putting locations in Sydney s north and inner west on watch.
