After the discovery of a new coronavirus cluster in Sydney, officials in New South Wales (NSW) state on Tuesday named over 100 venues in the largest Australian city as potential Covid-19 hotspots, instructing anyone who visited them to self-isolate and get tested.

Health alerts were issued for gyms, bars and cafes, primarily inside the original outbreak area, but also across Greater Sydney.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said despite the remaining risk she was happy to see the number of new cases drop into the single figures, compared with 15 the day before and 30 on Sunday.

Australian actress Rachel Ward has lashed out at trolls behind a vicious and false viral rumour which claimed she and her husband Bryan Brown were the super-spreaders behind the outbreak of a Covid-19 cluster on Sydney s Northern Beaches.
Ward posted to Instagram last night urging trolls to pick on another witch as she and her husband were wrongly identified in online discussion as being the unnamed couple who failed to self-isolate in the Covid-riddled area.
Ward said she had been on the New South Wales mid-north coast for the past 10 days, did not have a personal trainer (as one tale had claimed) and nor had she been to the United States in over five years (as another account asserted).
