NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has revealed a 45-year-old man who drives international and other aircrew back and forth to the airport for a company based in Alexandria has tested positive for coronavirus this morning. This is the state’s first locally acquired coronavirus infection since a hotel quarantine worker tested positive at 1.30am on Thursday, December 3. The driver was wearing a mask and taking other infection control measures. We will provide further updates as they become known.
As we enter the holiday season many COVID-19 testing clinics are changing their opening hours or shutting down temporarily. Check our website for the latest information.
The Clinical Excellence Commission has released an updated version of its comprehensive guide on the application of PPE during COVID-19. The major changes relate to how COVID-19 spreads, modes of transmission, precautions to prevent transmission and guidance around respirators.

COVID-19 particles can remain in the air for some time and will build up if there is not enough ventilation.
