3pm UPDATE - Tuesday August 10
It's been confirmed that two of the 13 new cases announced today had worked in local aged care facilities while infectious.
The two people worked at Masonic Village at Edgeworth and Hammond Care at Waratah.
Urgent testing and cleaning has been carried out at both facilities and so far no further cases have been detected. Obviously, all close contacts are now isolating, families have been notified and the facilities are locked down.
