A Sydney facility responsible for one fifth of Australia’s coronavirus deaths has been lashed by grieving families for its “horrific” handling of the crisis.
Another four residents at Newmarch House aged care home were tested for coronavirus on Saturday after presenting with “flu-like symptoms”.
The western Sydney facility, where 19 residents died after an outbreak of the virus, has taken immediate precautions to try and avoid another spike in cases.
“The three residents have been tested, are isolated and their families have been contacted,” A spokesman for Anglicare, which manages the home, said in a statement.

“All residents without flu-like symptoms are being encouraged to stay in their rooms and will be monitored for social distancing if they choose to leave their rooms.
“We will continue to maintain regular phone and email contact with families of all residents.
“We will review all these measures over the next few days as we wait upon the test results from NSW Health.”
A spokesperson for NSW Health told NCA NewsWire one resident has returned a negative result, and the results for the other three are expected to be in later this evening.
Newmarch House has dedicated staff exclusively to the residents who underwent testing on Saturday, and visitors have been asked to stay away.
More to come.
