NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, is urging young adults across the Hunter and the State to limit their social lives, after a man positive with COVID-19 attended several Newcastle pubs and a football match at McDonald Jones stadium over the weekend.
The man in his 20s attended several venues between Friday and Sunday including Bennett Hotel in Hamilton, Sydney Junction Hotel in Hamilton and the Wests New Lambton club.
"We are on a knife-edge and we are about halfway through what is a really critical period," Ms Berejiklian told Triple M radio on Thursday.
"To the young people, try and modify the number of places that you go to."
The man in his 20's is a close contact of a Newcastle teenager whose diagnosis shut down St PIUS X High School at Adamstown, and sent two football teams into self-isolation.
St Francis Xavier's High School at Hamilton was also closed for cleaning on Friday, after a third case of COVID-19 was confirmed in another teenager, living in the same home as the other cases.
