New South Wales has recorded 11 new coronavirus infections overnight, with six locally transmitted cases and five sourced to hotel quarantine.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard revealed three of the six new local cases were connected to the Lakemba GP cluster, while one was a household contact of a man from Bargo. Two cases remained under investigation.
Mr Hazzard flagged testing rates were still of concern to NSW health authorities. He also pleaded with people to “tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth” when informing contact traces of their movements.
