Warning after Covid case caught Sydney bus

Passengers on board a bus which travelled to Sydney’s Inner West last week are being urged to get tested for coronavirus.

NSW Health reported five new cases of Covid-19 in the state on Sunday. Three of them are locally transmitted while two are returned travellers.

“Two of the locally acquired cases are linked to a known case or cluster – one of these is linked to the Liverpool private clinic cluster, and the other is a social contact of a previously reported confirmed case of unknown source,” the health department said.

The third case remains under investigation.

NSW Health is also urging anyone who caught a bus from Central to Strathfield on October 5 at 11.48pm to look out for Covid symptoms.

The bus was a replacement service for a train and all passengers on board are considered casual contacts of a known case.

Anyone who caught the bus is being urged to get tested and self-isolate immediately for 14 days.

The health department is also urging anyone who attended Lakemba Radiology from 12pm to 2.30pm on October 1 to watch for Covid symptoms.

They are also considered casual contacts of a known case.

NSW reported two new cases on Saturday and also issued a health alert to anyone who used a number of train services.
