New South Wales enjoys a FIFTH day of no community transmissions

New South Wales has recorded a fifth consecutive day of no new community transmissions of coronavirus, with all four new cases being in hotel quarantine.

The state recorded four new cases on Wednesday, who were all returned travellers in hotel quarantine.

More than 13,575 people were tested on Tuesday, more than double the 6,381 tests conducted on Monday.

Of the 50 active cases across NSW, eight are in hospital, including three in intensive care.

NSW Health thanked the community but urges everyone to remain vigilant and to get tested as soon as possible if symptoms like a runny nose, scratchy throat, cough or fever appear, regardless of how mild.

‘This is particularly important with school holidays and increased movement of people around the state,’ NSW Health states.

‘COVID-19 continues to circulate in the community and we must all be vigilant.’

Queensland will ease border closures to 152,000 NSW residents from 1am Thursday, just in time for the October public holiday weekend.

Residents in 41 postcodes including Byron Shire, Ballina, Lismore, the Richmond Valley including Casino and Evans Head, and Glen Innes will be added to the Queensland-NSW border bubble.

Residents from those 41 postcodes will be free to cross the border while Queenslanders will also be able to travel in far northern NSW.

The Queensland government has vowed to reopen the border if NSW goes 28 days without recording a coronavirus infection with no known source.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
