How Sydney outbreaks compare
-
The charts above put two outbreaks of COVID-19 in Sydney side by side, by showing cumulative locally-acquired cases in NSW from 'Day 1' in two different periods: day 1 in the July outbreak is 10 July, when the Crossroads cluster was first identified; day 1 in the December outbreak is 17 December, when the first Avalon cases were confirmed.
-
The charts show all locally-acquired cases in the state from the selected dates. This includes subsequent clusters with unknown sources.
-
The 'July outbreak' curve stops on 24 September, which was followed by 12 consecutive days without any local cases.
