A 15th resident has died after contracting coronavirus at the Newmarch House aged care facility in Western Sydney.
In a statement, the nursing home's operator Anglicare Sydney said the resident had no immediate family and was "well cared for by the dedicated staff of Newmarch House".
"His passing highlights how terrible this virus is and how devastating it is for the elderly in our community," Anglicare said.
Anglicare Sydney did not specify the man's age.
In Australia, 96 people have now died from the virus.
Newmarch House has become the country's second biggest cluster of coronavirus deaths.
The latest number of infections at the home is 63, with 37 residents and 26 staff infected by the virus.
An infection control specialist is on site at Newmarch House this week to review all contamination procedures.
More to come.
