The NSW coronavirus outbreak has climbed to 28 cases, a majority of which are located in the Northern Beaches.
Most of them have been traced to Avalon RSL and Avalon Bowling Club.
NSW Health has advised everyone in the entire state to come forward for testing if they experience any symptoms, no matter how mild.
Acting chief medical officer Paul Kelly has sought to reassure Australians amid the concern, and said there were a number of positives.
“This is NSW Health. We know how competent they are and they have gone through these type of events before,” he said on ABC News.
“People will remember the Cross Roads Hotel and other clusters. They know what to do and are doing in the calm, consistent, rapid fashion.
Genome sequencing has revealed that the current cluster is linked to a strain from the United States.
“But how it got to the bowling club and the RSL and then consequently on to this cluster of cases remains somewhat of a mystery at the moment,” Kelly added.
