WATCH LIVE: Victoria’s Deputy Chief Health Officer, Daniel O’Brien, and COVID19 response commander, Jeroen Weimar, are providing a coronavirus update after NSW reported 89 new locally acquired cases.
NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant has said there are some patients in Sydney’s intensive care units who have no underlying health conditions.
Asked for more details about the man in his 70s from Sydney’s east who died on Monday, Dr Chant said she will get clearance from his family before speaking about his vaccination status.“I am urging everyone over 60 to talk to their GP and look at any opportunity to get vaccinated,” she said.NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced some new testing rules for essential workers moving around Greater Sydney.
A more specific rule is in place for people who live in Fairfield local government area but work outside the council: these people must get a COVID-19 test every three days to demonstrate they are negative. “It does highlight the importance of keeping a household unit together and not moving outside the house and not interacting with others,” she said.
