15 new COVID cases recorded linked to Sydney cluster

New South Wales authorities said on Monday that the Australian state had recorded 15 locally acquired cases of COVID-19.
All 15 new cases were linked to the so-called Avalon cluster, named after a community of about 10,000 people on the northern beaches from downtown Sydney. Investigations are continuing into the source of the cluster, which now numbers 83 cases.
A record 38,578 tests were reported in New South Wales in the 24 hours up to Sunday night - compared with 28,210 in the previous 24-hour period. This was highest number of COVID-19 tests ever performed in a single day.

All residents of Sydney's northern beaches are currently under a stay-at-home order. Until midnight Wednesday, they are only permitted to leave their homes for five basic reasons: medical care, exercise, grocery shop, work or for compassionate care reasons.
