Prime Minister ScottMorrisonMP says today's national cabinet discussed protecting Australians against complacency in social distancing.
Mr Hazzard said that 77 swabs from community tests in the Balmain/Rozelle area had gone missing, and he was encouraging those people to come and get re-tested.
“Those 77 have been misplaced in the rush to get so many tests done so quickly, but they also ask for you to come back and get retested, and I would obviously ask for that as well,” Mr Hazzard said.“But I think everybody understands this is like a war. There is a lot happening every day, a lot of people under massive pressure. I won't point the finger at anybody.
“Your government has put in place very strict guidelines and rules, it is not helpful to be out of that environment if you were in that environment.”Health Minister Brad Hazzard has said that the Crossroads Hotel in Casula had been directed to close after two people who both visited on Saturday tested positive.
