NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has issued a message to NSW residents who arrived from overseas, urging them to get tested if they had any symptoms.┬а
“Very sadly, we are seeing more families coming in with a family member who is presenting not alive, but dead,” he said.
“That is a terrible situation.
“We are┬аhearing some families, particularly┬аin south-west Sydney and Western┬аSydney, are staying at home when┬аthey have symptoms and not coming┬аout and getting tested.
“Can I say to┬аthose families, our government, the┬аNSW government is perhaps not like┬аthe government that you have lived┬аunder overseas. ┬а
“We are here to┬аsupport you and our health system is┬аhere to support you. If you have any┬аsymptoms at all, please, come and┬аget tested.”┬а
Ms Berejiklian meanwhile admitted that using Defence personnel to enforce compliance in communities where residents may have fled war-torn areas was a “sensitive issue”.┬а
