NSW Health authorities have confirmed a further four COVID-19 cases linked to an outbreak at a pub in Sydney's south-west.
The four new cases include the confirmed infection of an 18-year-old staffer from the Crossroads Hotel in Casula. The new cases also include: a south-western Sydney woman aged in her 50s who is a close contact of the teen, a south-western Sydney woman aged in her 40s and a Victorian man in his 20s who both had dinner at the pub on July 3.
Health authorities have urgently advised anyone who visited the Crossroads Hotel between July 3 and July 10 to self-isolate at home immediately until 14 days after they visited the venue. Those patrons have also been encouraged to get a COVID-19 test at a health clinic and monitor symptoms, but to remain in isolation even if their test results are negative.
