Western Sydney Local Health District have worked with the residents and building management to assess the situation and, in collaboration with other agencies, are implementing measures to address infection control and the health and welfare of residents.
All residents of the building have been determined to be close contacts.
The NSW Police Force and private security are ensuring the safety of the building. Food and other services, including daily welfare checks, will be provided to residents safely during their 14-day quarantine period. Tailored support services will be provided to all isolated residents as needed.
This situation reinforces the need for everyone to wear a face mask in shared foyer or lobby areas, lifts, stairwells and corridors, and shared laundry facilities of apartment complexes.
This advice applies to everyone, including residents, visitors, building managers, contractors, delivery drivers and cleaners.
