New South Wales has recorded 17 new coronavirus cases and one death

New South Wales has recorded 17 new coronavirus cases and the first death in nearly three months.

An 83-year-old man died on Saturday morning after being linked to the cluster of cases from the Crossroads Hotel, the NSW Department of Health revealed.

The state’s total number of cases has now jumped to 3,584.

Of the new cases, three are in hotel quarantine, one is from a returning resident from Victoria while two cases are linked to the Apollo restaurant.

Two more infections were linked to the Mounties Club in Mount Pritchard and seven were from contacts of known cases.  

It comes as the prominent Bavarian pub in Manly was forced to close for deep cleaning after a customer tested positive to the deadly virus.

A patron had visited the German pub on July 24 and it will be closed on Saturday morning to undergo deep cleaning. 

The venue will reopen by midday, with NSW Health advising all people at the venue on the afternoon of July 24 to monitor for symptoms.

The Bavarian has provided authorities with a list of guests on that date.

The Harpoon & Hotel Harry in Surry Hills, Matinee Coffee in Marrickville and Tan Viet in Cabramatta are among the other venues required to undertake deep cleaning after recent patronage by COVID-positive people. 

There are now 98 cases associated with the Thai Rock restaurant in Wetherill Park, and 57 cases associated with the Crossroads Hotel in Casula.

Eight infections have been linked with Batemans Bay Soldiers Club, and 25 associated with the funeral events.

Five cases have also been associated with Mounties in Mount Pritchard and there are 24 cases associated with the Potts Point cluster.

NSW Health announced anyone who visited the Mounties on July 20 between 12.01am – 2.30am, July 21 between 12.15pm – 5.30pm and 8.00pm – 12.30am and July 22 should isolate for two weeks immediately even if they test negative.

‘Anyone who attended the club during the following times must isolate and get tested regardless of symptoms, and stay isolated for a full 14 days even if they test negative. If symptoms develop, get tested again,’ NSW Health said.  

Seven new infections in the last week have not been able to be linked to any known cases. 

These unlinked cases have been in two people from South Western, two in Western Sydney, two in South Western Sydney and Sydney and one in Local Health Districts. 

More to come.
