A number of restaurants in Sydney’s Potts Point have voluntarily shut their businesses until the end of the week amid concerns the inner eastern suburb could be the next New South Wales (NSW) COVID-19 hotspot.

Residents were advised of two more positive cases in the suburb involving staff members from The Apollo and Thai Rock restaurants on July 27.
