NSW authorities have confirmed there's been a coronavirus outbreak among backpackers in Bondi, in Sydney's east, after hundreds were captured ignoring social distancing measures.
Dr Kerry Chant confirmed there had been an outbreak of Covid-19 among backpackers in Bondi, in Sydney's east.
"We know there is a potential risk that other members of the community may have come in contact with infected backpackers," she said.
"We have had a small number of cases in that community where there aren't obvious links, but a plausible explanation is they have come into contact with an infected backpacker before that backpacker was aware they had Covid-19."
