A man in his 20s died "suddenly" from COVID-19 at his Sydney home as NSW recorded 233 new infections and Premier Gladys Berejiklian warned the Delta outbreak would get worse.
Key points:
The Premier says not all Year 12 students will return to school as planned on August 16
Only 92 of the new cases were in isolation for their entire infectious period
More than 105,000 tests were completed in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday
The man had no underlying health conditions and died at his home in Sydney's south west yesterday, which was day 13 of his home isolation.
He was being checked daily by staff from the South-Western Sydney Local Health District but chief health officer Kerry Chant said he "suddenly deteriorated".
"He did complain of feeling a little fatigued but the deterioration happened suddenly is my understanding," Dr Chant said.
“We are aware that with COVID you can get sudden deaths and I think that is important to understand that your health status can deteriorate and you can have sudden death with COVID.”
