Pub trivia at Oxford Tavern revealed as Covid superspreading event

Dozens of pub patrons have been infected with Covid after attending a trivia night in Sydney’s inner west.

The event, at the Oxford Tavern in Petersham last Tuesday, resulted in at least 44 people contracting coronavirus.

Sydney’s Local Health District urged anyone who attended to get tested and isolate until results are received.

“If you have not been fully vaccinated, please remain in isolation until December 12, and have another test on this date,” a statement read.

“If you are fully vaccinated, you can come out of isolation if you’ve had a negative test on or after December 6, but please have another test on December 12.

It is not known whether anyone infected at the superspreading event has the Omnicron variant.

The event follows a passenger outbreak on board a weekend party boat cruise on Sydney Harbour.

At least two of those infected are believed to have the Omicron strain of the virus.

More than 140 others who were on board the boat have been told to also get tested and isolate.
