Life in NSW COVID lockdown

1/19

Catherine Bugmy from Wilcannia is currently in isolation after testing positive to COVID-19. Ms Bugmy is furious with the care being provided to her by NSW Health. “We can’t use the washing machine, they said, because we’re positive, and I’ve got to go down to the lagoon there to wash my clothes.” Ms Bugmy said her cabin didn’t have a microwave or a toaster, she had been given stale food, and she had been forced to cook with a fire outside.Credit:Rhett Wyman
