Four new coronavirus cases in NSW, one in hotel quarantine - 9News

There have been four new cases of coronavirus in New South Wales in the past 24 hours.

One of those is a returned traveller in hotel quarantine.

The other three are all healthcare workers, linked to another staff member who worked at the emergency departments in Concord Repatriation General Hospital and Liverpool Hospital.

One worked at Concord ED 7am-7pm on September 1 while potentially infectious. The other two healthcare workers worked at Liverpool ED on September 2, 3, and 4.

The three newly reported health workers reported having no symptoms while at work and wore personal protective equipment while caring for patients.

One of today's new coronavirus cases contracted the virus while wearing a face mask, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

She said masks are just "one part" of the fight against the disease and this should serve as a reminder of how contagious it is.

Four healthcare workers across Concord and Liverpool EDs have now tested positive for COVID-19, NSW Health said.

A visitor to a patient at Concord emergency department has also tested positive overnight and will be recorded in tomorrow's figures.

There were 10,129 tests carried out in the last day.
