Senator visited Sydney COVID-19 restaurant - Collie Mail

A Morrison government senator has been told to monitor herself for coronavirus symptoms after attending a restaurant in Sydney's east, at the centre of a potential infection hotspot. NSW Senator Hollie Hughes has shared an email from NSW Health saying she was classified as a casual contact because she had been at Thai Rock for under two hours. A separate diner has tested positive for the virus after visiting the Potts Point restaurant on July 17. A staff member has also tested positive. NSW Health says anyone who was at the restaurant for two hours or more between July 15 and July 25 must get tested for the virus and self-isolate for two weeks, regardless of symptoms. But so-called casual contacts - who were there for under two hours - have been told to monitor for symptoms and if they show signs of infection to immediately isolate and get tested. And one of Prime Minister Scott Morrison's senior advisers this week went into self-quarantine after being linked to another COVID-19 case at another Potts Point restaurant. Nico Louw posted on Instagram that he was a "close contact" of a confirmed coronavirus case who attended The Apollo Restaurant on July 25. A handful of federal MPs have contracted and recovered from the virus, including Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton who tested positive earlier this year after a visit to the US.

A Morrison government senator has been told to monitor herself for coronavirus symptoms after attending a restaurant in Sydney's east, at the centre of a potential infection hotspot.

NSW Senator Hollie Hughes has shared an email from NSW Health saying she was classified as a casual contact because she had been at Thai Rock for under two hours.

A separate diner has tested positive for the virus after visiting the Potts Point restaurant on July 17. A staff member has also tested positive.

NSW Health says anyone who was at the restaurant for two hours or more between July 15 and July 25 must get tested for the virus and self-isolate for two weeks, regardless of symptoms.

But so-called casual contacts - who were there for under two hours - have been told to monitor for symptoms and if they show signs of infection to immediately isolate and get tested.
