Great to see NSW numbers down to single digits and huge testing. Also, in defence of NSW contact tracers, some saying they should be publishing more sites like workplaces. Just like in Vic, workplaces and family clusters aren’t released publicly as everyone is contacted directly.

This fact was always known in Victoria but that didn’t stop many people here (you know who you are) accusing DHHS contact tracers of being incompetent because they weren’t publishing every covid site and workplace. Let’s not see same unreasonable behaviour criticising NSW Health.
I’ve also seen people saying ‘look at how many sites NSW publish - they didn’t do this in incompetent Victoria’. Again - please be reasonable and think before making unfair comparisons. Vic was barely back open when undetected spread took off in June, mainly through households.
I never thought it was fair to compare DHHS contact tracing - where by time they found undetected spread there was 4 weeks of cases - with NSW Health having 1 case over border, putting out spot fires. NSW Health are dealing with 2 weeks undetected spread and showing it’s not easy
We saw it wasn’t easy for DHHS and people like me constantly called on the chief criticisers to accept contact tracing is not a perfect science, particularly when dealing with undetected spread. These same people seem to have accepted NSW Health are having hard time of it too.
I’m sure it’s frustrating for Victorians to be seeing the same people who threw insult after insult at Victorian contact tracers now calling for unity when it comes to NSW Health. But fact is, we are all in this together - NSW’s fate is the country’s fate. They need our support.
