Covid 19 coronavirus: Sydney aged care cluster grows


Video / Sky News AustraliaTwo more residents at an aged care home in Sydney's northwest have tested positive to Covid-19, bringing the total number of infected residents to five. Despite 96 per cent of residents in the home being vaccinated, it was revealed that only one-third of staff members had received the Covid-19 jab. Summit Care's chief operating officer Michelle Sloane revealed on Sunday that one of the infected staff members was unvaccinated and the vaccination status of the other worker was "unclear". At least 70-75 per cent of staff are now in isolation with tests on 226 residents and staff on Saturday. Berejiklian warned it was "too soon" to tell whether Sydney's lockdown would end as planned on July 9, though she was confident the "tide is turning" in the city's outbreak.
