Here’s Every NSW COVID Hotspot Location Where You Need To Either Test Or Isolate

With Sydney’s northern beaches cluster continuing to grow, it’s more important than ever not to get complacent with COVID. We’re living in a pandemic, and we’re still a few months away from the vaccine. Dozens of locations in the northern beaches and elsewhere are now coronavirus hotspots.

Although the cluster has been reported to have come from the Avalon RSL and the Avalon Bowling Club in the Northern Beaches, there are quite a few areas that have been labelled high-risk, thanks to the travels of a select few 50-70-year-olds.

If you wanna know where exactly this cluster has come from, and how it has become as big as it is, you can check out our yarn on everything we know so far right here.

So without further ado, here is the roundup of every COVID hotspot in NSW that health officials are requesting visitors get tested or begin isolating:
