The Daily Telegraph has confirmed the case figure announced at 11am will be “different” to the figure announced by viral TikTok comedian John-Bernard Kairouz last night, which was 109. Asked if NSW Health had put a “sting” out to identify the source of the leak, NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said “absolutely not”. But he confirmed steps had been taken to seriously limit the people with access to the figures. Mr Hazzard said “there was no sting, we are not chasing people but the figures will be distributed on a needs to know basis”. The Daily Telegraph learnt the issue was discussed at crisis cabinet this morning as a possible sting but Mr Hazzard disputed this.Kairouz has accurately foreshadowed covid case numbers in NSW for five days in a row. Mr Hazzard considered the nightly announcements on TikTok a distraction and spoke to Health staff on Sunday asking them to “take steps to ensure it didn’t continue”.NAT – Stay Informed – Social Media
