An aged care home where 19 residents died from coronavirus in the peak of 2020's outbreak is back in lockdown after new fears of Covid exposure.
Newmarch House in Kingswood near Penrith is on high alert after an infected doctor visited the site on three separate days last week.
The aged care operators were advised on Tuesday that the doctor had visited one patient on each evening of September 10, 11 and 13 before returning a positive Covid test.
Those three close contact patients have tested negative, Newmarch House operators Anglicare said on Wednesday.
