'Very dangerous': Huge jump in new NSW Covid cases
NSW has reported 210 new locally-acquired cases of Covid-19 — a big jump from 170 infections on Friday.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard told reporters on Saturday the majority of cases were in Sydney's west and southwest.
"I'd ask everybody in the local area to do what NSW Health has asked on many occasions and that is a stay-at-home," he said.
"Just stay-at-home unless you must go out, unless it is essential that you go out. Stay-at-home. Definitely do not go and visit another household."
"I know you want to visit your aunts and uncles and cousins. We all do but unfortunately, that is continuing to be a very dangerous exercise and the virus is continuing to spread in that south-western Sydney and Western Sydney area."
Of Saturday's cases, only 58 were in isolation throughout their entire infectious period.
NSW has also recorded its 14th death since the start of the outbreak after a man in his 60s, who lives in Sydney's southwest, died.
