Update
NSW Health has refused to divulge if the St George Hospital midwife who tested positive for coronavirus has passed the infection on to anyone else.
The Leader asked both NSW Health and the South Eastern Local Health District (SESLHD) if there had been any additional confirmed cases relating to the midwife's infection, either among staff at the hospital or patients, including new mothers or babies, but they refused to provide an update.
A SESLHD spokeswoman referred the matter to NSW Health.
The NSW Health spokeswoman said: "Due to our obligations to protect patient privacy, we cannot provide any further details".
SESLHD had previously refused to disclose even when the midwife tested positive.
