A Blue Mountains school has been closed for deep cleaning after a student was diagnosed with COVID-19, as NSW recorded seven new cases.
It comes as an infectious diseases expert said NSW does not need to reach zero cases of community transmission to be "out of the woods". Three of the hotel quarantine cases were in returned overseas travellers, and the fourth was in a NSW resident who had returned from Victoria. All passengers on the same flight from Victoria to Sydney are in hotel quarantine.
Professor McLaws added that, if NSW's cases remain at the low levels seen on Monday - with four, including just one case of community transmission - there would be little justification for other states to restrict its residents.
