Three aged care residents at a northwest Sydney facility have caught Covid-19 from an infected staff member and are among the 16 new local cases across New South Wales. "The fact that the affected residents are showing no symptoms at this stage shows their early vaccinations have worked," a SummitCare spokesman said. NSW recorded 16 local Covid-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8pm on Saturday, with just two cases out in the community during their infectious period. There have now been 277 local Covid-19 cases reported since June 16, the start of the current outbreak. Five Covid-19 patients in NSW are currently in intensive care.
