A Redfern public housing tower has gone into lockdown after it was confirmed that a cluster of 12 coronavirus cases were detected there.
NSW Health authorities set up a makeshift testing and vaccination centre at the base of the tower. Residents have been told to isolate until tested negative. There is a significant population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who live at the estate.
There has been a worrying increase in COVID-19 cases across the inner suburbs of Sydney in recent weeks, including in Redfern, Glebe and Waterloo.
