Every person who visited a Sydney pub centre over an eight-day period has been told to self-isolate after a staffer tested positive to coronavirus.
The 18-year-old staffer was confirmed as the sixth case in The Crossroads Hotel cluster, leading to the NSW chief health officer to significantly expand the self-isolation advice to all people who visited between July 3 and 10.
All patrons must self-isolate until 14 days after their last visit to the Crossroads, regardless of any test result."Even if you get a negative test, that does not mean you are out of the woods," Dr Chant said.The staffer's positive result was returned late on Saturday, meaning he's not yet included on NSW's official total of 3289.
Ms Berejiklian also announced on Sunday NSW would begin charging international arrivals for their mandatory 14-day stay in hotel quarantine. Subsequent adults will be billed $1000, each child $500 while kids under three will continue to be free.Residents in metropolitan Melbourne are subject to stay-at-home orders and can only leave home for essential work, study, exercise or care responsibilities. People are also advised to wear masks in public.
