COVID-19 updates

On Saturday morning, 18/12/2021 we received from the NSW Government a COVID-19 case alert. A person who is a confirmed case of COVID-19 attended St Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church, 40 Breakfast Road, Marayong NSW, Australia on 13-12-2021 while potentially infectious.

The advice from NSW Government is to alert those who attended this day and advise them to monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and get tested if they feel unwell. Those who checked in through the Service NSW app will receive the same advice through a notification on the app.
