New South Wales Police Minister David Elliott says “if we have to close hotels and clubs again, the patrons will have to take some of the ownership of that” after a several COVID-19 cases were linked to a pub in Sydney.
Authorities have linked an additional five cases of the coronavirus to a cluster at a pub in Sydney’s north-west, taking the total to 14.
Hundreds have presented themselves for tested at a pop-up clinic at the cluster’s source, the Crossroads Hotel in Casula, as authorities work to contain the spread of the virus. “I was briefed that there were another 177 cases in Victoria,” Mr Elliott said. “If that occurs in New South Wales, we will have to continue to look at what restrictions need to be reintroduced and that would be devastating, particularly to the hospitality industry.
