New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian is standing by her government’s handling of COVID-19 after a hotel quarantine security guard tested positive to the virus on Tuesday. “It’s actually been a miracle that we haven’t had anyone contract the virus in that setting before now,” she said. The Premier pointed out most people entering Sydney were not NSW residents.
“With Melbourne out of the picture Sydney is pretty much picking up the load and if we don’t do it … you won’t have Australians being able to come back home and secondly those international flights will get cancelled”. The state's Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said “on average we have about one or two cases predominantly from south-western Sydney and western Sydney where the source is unclear”.
