The number of coronavirus fatalities in NSW has climbed to 51, after an 85-year-old man's cause of death was reclassified to be due to COVID-19.
Key points:
It is not known how the student contracted the virus
It is the fourth COVID-19 case at a school in Sydney in the past month
Students returned to campuses around NSW last month after a period of remote learning
NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said the man died on April 27 at the Opal Bankstown aged-care facility.
"The clinical treating doctor diagnosed COVID as contributing, so in accordance with the national guidelines, we've included that as a death and that has been updated," Dr Chant said.
