Australia Covid live news update: record 239 NSW cases confirmed by Gladys Berejiklian as death toll rises to 13; six cases reported in Victoria

The public health team is investigating the circumstances surrounding the positive case of the traffic controller, or the mystery case, that came to light yesterday.

Interviews were conducted yesterday and they are continuing throughout the day today and we’re really following up on all of the possible sources of infection for these gentlemen.

We’re investigating where he was during his acquisition period, and where he worked and travelled while infectious. Testing is already under way, and several members of his household and his close social circle have already returned a negative test result, which is very encouraging.

New exposure sites were listed on the website yesterday within a matter of hours and they include:

We do know that the positive case worked at Moonee Valley racecourse testing site, and that site remains closed today and will do so for a few days yet. A deep clean is underway and details of when it will reopen will be made available online.

Now if you do live in that area, and you need to test, the recommendation is to head to the showground site – that’s our biggest testing site and they’ve got really fantastic capacity there.
