There was a bit happening during that press conference, so here's a quick snapshot of the main announcements:
A sixth locally acquired case was confirmed. Five new locally acquired cases were announced shortly after 8:00am (there were 10 cases in total, five of which were reported on yesterday), but Acting Premier James Merlino confirmed authorities had been advised of a sixth new case shortly before the press conference. That case will be included in tomorrow's figures.
It brings the latest outbreak to 15 cases,
all of which are linked and are believed to have stemmed from the hotel quarantine breach in South Australia. However, contact tracers are still looking for the "missing link".
The Department of Health has identified 301 primary close contacts from the outbreak, with negative results being returned for about 80 of those. Test results for the remainder are expected to come through today.
Mr Merlino says he can't rule out taking "further action" in terms of restrictions, adding that the next 24 hours will be "critical".
Work is underway to set up additional testing sites across the state
