Abstract

[Extract] Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an RNA virus first reported in humans in Wuhan, China’s Hubei province, in December 2019.1 The virus has since rapidly spread around the world, representing the deadliest pandemic since the outbreak of Spanish influenza in 1918, having killed more than 6 million people worldwide as of December 2022. In Australia, drastic public health measures were used to try to slow the spread of COVID-19 including lockdowns, stay at home orders, and imposing contact tracing policies and intermittent closure of international and state borders. Low socioeconomic areas of New South Wales (NSW) such as Western Sydney were subject to tight restrictions and harsher lockdowns due to the high COVID-19 cases numbers.
