NSW has recorded one new case, a man in his 50s who attended Myer Bondi Junction at the same time as an air crew driver who later tested positive.

Meanwhile, health authorities continue to investigate whether a case in a man from Sydney’s north-west reported yesterday is an old infection or false positive but “out of an abundance of caution” it has been included in today’s numbers, the Premier said.A primary school in north-west Sydney has closed for in-person teaching today after a number of its teachers attended a COVID-19 exposure site.

“Those staff who are self-isolating and are well, will be working from home. NSW Education is supporting families who might arrive at school today to return home safely.” ANF state secretary Mark Olson said while the union encouraged aged care workers to get vaccinated, it should not be mandatory, and enforcement would risk a further exodus from the struggling industry.“We are desperately short of aged care nurses and carers. We cannot afford to adopt policies that would worsen well-documented difficulties facing the sector and create an even bigger shortage of staff,” Mr Olson said.

'Incentives' to receive COVID-19 vaccination are 'just not there': Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Australians won't get a 'super high level' of the COVID-19 vaccine take up unless the country 'opens up a bit' and gets used to the virus actually being around the place.\n\nMr Kenny said the government needs to provide 'incentives' to get vaccinated when pursuing a virus elimination strategy.\n\n'The incentives for vaccination are just not there in this country at the moment,' Mr Kenny said.\n\n'If we have a virus elimination strategy there is very little incentive to get vaccinated unless you are elderly, unless you are at risk of serious illness or death is high.\n\n'For the rest of us, the tiny risk of illness from vaccination versus the tiny risk of a serious illness or death from a virus that is just not in circulation – it's a shrug of the shoulders choice isn't it for many people.\n\n'So I've said it before and I'll say it again. You won't get super high level of vaccine take up unless we open up a bit and get used to the virus actually being around the place.\n\n'When a disease is hardly a risk to most of the population, there needs to be a proper, clear incentive for vaccination.' Is CK still raping dogs ? Or we are convinced the vaccine actually works🤷‍♂️
