Omicron 'IS spreading in Sydney': Fears virus is in the community

PART

NSW Health is concerned the state's ninth Omicron Covid-19 infection 'may have been acquired in the community'.

The latest case, a student at Regents Park Christian School, has not been overseas and has no links to people who have travelled abroad.

Two more students are being investigated over fears they could be infected with the variant, health minister Brad Hazzard said on Friday.

'This is a concern, to an extent, that this is the first case we know of a person who has no travel history. It could appear the case is on NSW soil transmission.'
