Seven additional cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in NSW but Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the low rate of transmission will not hasten the lifting of restrictions.
Those in essential work in NSW meanwhile have been urged to stay home if they feel sick after an unwell Sydney aged care worker kept working before testing positive to COVID-19.
Newmarch House staff who were in close contact with the resident or their colleague are self-isolating at home, while all residents are in self-isolation in their own rooms. Ms Berejiklian also announced on Tuesday that authorities would establish a same-day text messaging service for those who undertake COVID-19 testing and return a negative result.
