Two new cases attended the Eastern Suburbs Legion Club at Waverley.

Following further testing and expert review, a previously reported case, a staff member of Concord Hospital, has been excluded from the COVID-19 tally.
As a result, anyone previously identified as a close contact has been notified and informed they are no longer required to complete 14 days isolation.
This includes close contacts previously identified at Paperboy Café in Concord and Plus Fitness Epping.
