The one remaining locally-acquired case is currently still under investigation NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said. A pub on the Northern Beaches now an increasingly crucial venue.
The results came from almost 24,000 tests conducted in 24 hours. The Premier has urged anyone that has visited infected areas to be tested as well as those that are presenting with even the mildest symptoms.
