Gladys Berejiklian stayed in Parliament after COVID-19 test: report
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian reportedly continued to work in her office while waiting for a COVID-19 test result.
The Premier's office tonight issued a statement saying Ms Berejiklian "did not require" a COVID-19 test, but admitted she did take one.
"At no stage did the Premier have COVID-19 symptoms, and therefore did not require a test," Ms Berejiklian's office said in a statement.
"However, as the Premier began losing her voice, she took a precautionary test as she anticipated that she would be asked if she had had a COVID test.

"A rapid negative result was returned in around two hours."
