    Why are tradesman leaving the central coast for work when there is plenty of work on the central coast

  2. On Thursday, NSW Health reported 2 exposure sites on the Ettalong Beach waterfront at the Box Cafe and the nearby children’s playground. Why aren’t they included in your reporting?

    Is this saying that Gosford, The Peninsula and Wyoming don’t need to be vigilant, it’s only the Wyong Shire Suburbs.

  4. IT’S ABOUT TIME WE MADE IT MANDERTORY FOR ALL KIDS OVER 6 YEARS OLD HAVE MASK THEY CAN SPREAD THE COVID THE SAME AS ME, IF I GO SHOPPING I SANATISE MY HANDS USE THE QI CODE JUST TOGET IN KIDS DO NOTHING THEY JUST WALK IN SHOP AND GO OUT

  5. The picture is incorrect. This is the wrong service station and is misleading. This case was at the EG service station on pacific highway wyoming not at the service station pictured.

  6. Hang onto your hats guys, it looks like you’re in for a long haul with covid-19. For all you people who haven’t been vaccinated yet, get moving before it’s too late. Covid will make you very sick. Stay safe everyone, keep on your masks, stay a safe distance from one another.

  7. Ok I get it. Being stuck in lockdown is tough. Losing a family member or infecting someone you love and subjecting them to an awful death is far worse so wake up coasties. This is not a conspiracy theory, its real, so grow up and get the jab

  8. When will the people responsible for travel stop the large amount of people coming to the coast LGA every weekend. It makes what we do up hear pointless.

  9. Why are the beaches packed and the parks packed if we r in lockdown with more exposure sites and cases growing??
