After mass testing at a Redfern public housing tower, health authorities have confirmed the Covid-19 cluster which was exclusively revealed on Wednesday by news.com.au.

The Covid-19 outbreak at the 16-storey housing tower in Sydney’s inner suburbs had been kept quiet by NSW Health.

Locals told news.com.au they have been locked up in the building they fear is “riddled with” the virus.

NSW Health has confirmed to news.com.au there has been an outbreak of at least 12 infected Covid-19 patients from one of the towers, while mass testing takes place of hundreds of residents from neighbouring towers.
