Moderator: bbmods
In NSW:
233 cases - "at least 47 of those were infectious in the community" (per Gladys).
A male in his 20s passed away (per Gladys) - not vaccinated. That was one of 2 deaths yesterday.
From NSW Health's twitter:
Some further details have emerged about the man in his 20s - he had no underlying medical conditions and was on day 13 of his isolation at home. He had complained of feeling a little fatigued and obviously took a dramatic turn for the worse.

From NSW Health's twitter:
the source of infection for 130 cases is under investigation. Ninety-two cases were in isolation throughout their infectious period and 21 were in isolation for part of their infectious period.
So, that's 141 "wild" cases today.Forty-seven were infectious in the community, and the isolation status of 73 cases remains under investigation.

^ I suppose we'll hear further at the presser later this morning. It is likely that what we have is the teacher whose positive test was reported yesterday and two family members or two other close contacts. That said, if they don't think they've got a good handle on what's happening, I guess it's lockdown 6.0. The PM's message at the Doherty Institute presser earlier this week was to go early and go hard - in that context, he specifically name-checked Victoria, SA and Qld (and contrasted their responses with NSW).
A bit more detail on Victoria from the ABC blog:
As we've just heard, three of the locally acquired COVID-19 cases in Victoria are still under investigation, meaning the source of their infection is still not known.
One is the teacher at Al-Taqwa College, which was reported yesterday afternoon.
Another is a senior player from the Newport Football Club. The club confirmed the player tested positive yesterday.
He played a match against West Footscray at Shorten Reserve on July 31, and started feeling unwell during the week so did not attend training on Tuesday.
"On learning of the positive case, Newport Football Club immediately advised all players & officials to get tested and isolate until further notice," the club said in a statement.
