Suburbs near a COVID-19 cluster at a Sydney pub will not be locked down while the NSW premier concedes Victoria’s COVID-19 outbreak has “no doubt” impacted the state.

The number of COVID-19 cases linked to the Crossroads Hotel in Casula in Sydney’s southwest hit 30 on the evening of July 14. Of these cases, 14 are people who attended the pub.
