There have been 171 locally acquired cases reported since 16 June 2021, when the first case of the Bondi cluster, a driver who transported international flight crew, was reported. Of these, 160 are now linked to the Bondi cluster.

There were 68,220 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 67,000.

NSW Health administered a record 20,836 COVID-19 vaccines in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, including 7,951 at the vaccination centre at Sydney Olympic Park.

Of today’s 22 new locally acquired cases, eleven were in isolation throughout their infectious period and a further five cases were in isolation for part of their infectious periods. Six cases were infectious in the community.
