NSW has recorded 112 new COVID-19 cases in the community overnight, making Monday the worst day yet of the current Sydney outbreak.
So far we know 34 of those people were infectious in the community, while another 12 only isolated for part of their infectious period.
“I want to stress the vast majority of these cases are family members or very, very close contacts,” NSW Premier
Gladys Berejiklian said at a press conference on Monday morning.
“Family or close friends, unfortunately, bear the brunt of those 112 numbers we have seen overnight.
“I want to stress again, as we did yesterday, if you put yourself at risk, you’re putting your entire family, and that means extended family, as well as your closest friends and associates, at risk and the numbers are telling in that regard.”
