Sydney’s Croydon coronavirus cluster comes days after restrictions eased for Christmas, with New Year’s, cricket soon here
The timing of Sydney’s Croydon coronavirus cluster five days, or one average incubation period, after Christmas begs an uncomfortable question.
Key points:
- The Croydon cluster emerged five days after Christmas during a slight easing of restrictions
- Epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws believes Christmas should have been subject to stronger restrictions
- All of Greater Sydney should be locked down for two weeks, Dr Norman Swan believes
The city enjoyed a slight three-day easing of COVID-19 restrictions despite the virus circulating on the northern beaches.
