A 92-year-old resident of Newmarch House aged care home in Western Sydney has died after contracting coronavirus, her family says. Great-grandmother Fay Rendoth died yesterday. She is the 17th resident of the aged care facility to die. There have been 69 COVID-19 cases linked to the home, including 32 staff and 37 residents. The nursing home has become Australia’s second biggest COVID-19 cluster after a nurse who worked at the facility unintentionally started an outbreak by working six shifts with mild symptoms. Ms Rendoth’s granddaughter, Savannah Robinson, said she was somewhat comforted that her grandmother would no longer be missing her husband of more than 70 years, who died five years ago. She leaves behind three daughters, eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
