Parramatta Local Court COVID-19 case
The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) has received confirmation that a security contractor who worked at Parramatta Local Court has tested positive to COVID-19.
The person last attended Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday 12 August, and the positive result was received on Saturday 15 August. As a precaution, cleaning of the courthouse took place on Sunday 16 August.
Contrary to news reports, the security guard is not a Sheriff’s Officer and was not undertaking temperature checks.
DCJ will continue to work closely with NSW Health and carry out all necessary measures to protect the safety of our staff, court users and the community.
All close contacts have been identified and are being contacted by NSW Health. As a precaution, anyone who was in attendance at Parramatta Local Court between 8.30am and 12.30pm on Tuesday, 11 August and Wednesday 12 August should watch for any symptoms. Should even mild symptoms develop, they must self-isolate and seek urgent testing for COVID-19.
