Sydney airport added to list of COVID exposure sites

Sydney airport – including the whole of Terminal 2 and the food court - has joined the list of possible COVID-19 exposure sites which has grown to around 250 venues. This comes after a Virgin flight crew member tested positive to the virus after working on five flights between Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast over two days. Other sites of particular concern include the Lyfe Café at Bondi Beach between June 16 and 24, Joh Bailey hairdressing salon in Double Bay between June 12 and 18, and Great Ocean Foods in Marrickville between June 21 and 25. The Royal Bondi on Bondi Rd between June 19 and 20, and Westfield Bondi Junction between June 12 and 18 are also venues of concern. Some of the new suburbs to be added to the list which are affected include Sydney Olympic Park, Lakemba, Eastgardens, Belmore and Croydon Park. from Breaking National News and Australian News | Daily Telegraph https://ift.tt/35TnH5u

Mr Javid said his first priority is to get the country out of the pandemic but he has joined a government facing critical challenges. The first challenge will be keeping the public onside after the Hancock affair raised the damaging suggestion that it's one rule for officials and another for everyone else. from Breaking National News and Australian News | Daily Telegraph https://ift.tt/35XM0PC
