New South Wales has recorded two locally acquired cases in the past 24 hours after the state brought in mask rules in a bid to combat the spread of the virus.
One of the cases was announced on Friday morning and is included in Saturday’s numbers.
It comes after news another coronavirus case caught the virus while shopping at Myer Bondi Junction at the same time as a limousine driver believed to be at the centre of the latest outbreak.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the latest case was between to 10cm and 60cm away from the driver when authorities believe he caught the virus.
Mr Hazzard said it was “no more than seconds” that the two men were near each other at the shopping centre.
“This Delta virus would appear to be a near and present danger,” he said on Saturday.
The NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant previously said the driver passed on the Delta strain of the virus.
Masks are compulsory on public transport for Greater Sydney and the Blue Mountains, but not in Wollongong and on the Central Coast. The new rule will be in place until next week.
More to come.

Getting the jab and wearing a mask won't save you either.

One of my daughter's friends went to the movies on Sunday, didn't check in but paid with CC. Contact tracers called her Wednesday arvo, the case was reported on Wednesday morning. They took her for testing and had a neg result by the morning. Poor thing tho, has to self isolate thru most of the school hols.
