An Australian politician has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus, as the spread of Sydney’s Bondi cluster impacts the New South Wales (NSW) state parliament.

NSW Parliament is suspended after the state’s Agriculture Minister tested positive for the virus on Tuesday, and Health Minister Brad Hazzard is also in isolation.
