A Sydney medical centre has been exposed to COVID-19, while the NSW premier has asked her Queensland counterpart to rethink the border.
Another case was confirmed in a health worker who wore PPE at Concord Hospital on 1 September and Liverpool Hospital on 3 September.
Prof Kidd said Sunday would be a hard Father's Day for many who would be separated from their dads because of health measures. Queensland's refusal, along with Tasmania and Western Australia, to endorse a national code that would deem agricultural work an essential service, is causing political friction.
NSW will forge ahead with the code, working with Victoria, South Australia and the Commonwealth to allow agricultural workers to move freely between the southeastern states.
