Fears NSW is on the brink of a COVID-19 explosion as it's revealed Sydney's new cluster DID originate in Melbourne - as Black Lives Matter protests and huge housing commission outbreak are linked
The strain of coronavirus detected in Sydney's pub cluster has been genomically linked to Victorian cases, confirmation the NSW outbreak originated in Melbourne. The revelation came as a link was confirmed between Black Lives Matter protests in Melbourne (bottom right) and the cluster of cases in public housing towers in the city's north-west. Cases associated with the Crossroads Hotel (testing at the pub is pictured top right), in Casula in Sydney's south-west - the centre of the NSW cluster - reached 30 on Tuesday night. NSW Health confirmed genomic testing shows a Blue Mountains resident who dined at the pub on July 3 is linked to Victoria's outbreak.
