While Victoria is in a hell of a fight in trying to contain a second outbreak of COVID-19 (and the thirst radiated by people towards VIC’s Chief Health Officer), NSW is doing relatively okay in managing the whole coronavirus situation compared to its next door neighbour.
But before all those in NSW get all smug and start shitting on VIC for ignoring instructions, it isn’t out of the woods yet as the state has also seen its own uptick in community transmission of COVID-19 and new coronavirus hotspots are seemingly popping up by the day, many of which can be traced back to the fiasco at the Crossroads Hotel and Thai Rock in Wetherill Park.
Speaking of COVID-19 hotspots in NSW, the GOAT team talk about why everyone needs to wear a face mask on ‘It’s Been A Big Day For…’ below:
To keep everyone in the loop of what’s going on with the COVID-19 outbreak situation in NSW, here are all the locations of confirmed coronavirus hotspots in the state (listed alphabetically) as well as instructions on what to do if you’ve visited one of these locations.
This list will be updated accordingly whenever new locations are confirmed so please stay safe and responsible, which means social distancing, staying clean and wearing face masks.
