The new cases included two new infections at Newmarch House — a resident and a staff member. The total infections at the aged care facility have reached 44, after 15 staff and 29 residents contracted the virus when a staff member worked six shifts with symptoms. A male NSW paramedic based in Liverpool has contracted the virus, and health authorities said the source of his infection was unknown. A nurse at Sydney Adventist Hospital was also among the coronavirus cases confirmed today.
