Seven New Covid-19 Cases Recorded in NSW
NSW has recorded seven new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases and set another record for the number of tests done in a 24-hour period.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian has cautioned Sydneysiders to “think twice” before going to Boxing Day sales in Sydney’s CBD because of concerns there may have been transmission there.
The seven new cases identified in the 24 hours to 8pm on Christmas Eve are all connected to the northern beaches, and six were already in isolation, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on December 25.
Four cases are part of the Avalon cluster, bringing the total number of cases in it to 108.

NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said authorities are concerned about a potential outbreak in the CBD after three new COVID-19 cases were connected to Paragon Hotel Sports Bar at Circular Quay.
The Northern Beaches COVID cluster has further extended its reach, putting locations in Sydney s north and inner west on watch.
