Mass COVID-19 vaccine hub to be set up in Sydney

NSW will open a mass vaccination hub to help aid the state's COVID-19 jab rollout.

The clinic, to be set up in Homebush, in Sydney's west, will be able to administer 30,000 vaccines a week.

Another 30,000 doses per week will be delivered across 100 other sites around the state.

"I also want to make this point, the hub at Homebush will be in addition to the 100 sites we will already have up and running," NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

"So the NSW Government, even after we've done the 300,000 we were asked to do, we'll continue to have 100 sites up and running across the state in addition to a mass vaccination hub at Homebush.

"We anticipate that post-the 300,000 that we are responsible for we will be able to do around 60,000 vaccinations a week, half will be done at Homebush and the other half across the other 100 sites across the state."

No new cases of locally acquired COVID-19 were recorded in NSW overnight.

Six new cases were diagnosed in hotel quarantine.

"Can I stress NSW will be really focusing on the compliance of businesses," Ms Berejiklian said. 

"We don't want to see QR codes hidden at the back of venues, they need to be front and centre."

More to come.
