Here's what you need to know this morning.
First school, university go online
An independent school on Sydney's upper north shore will become the first in NSW to move all lessons online amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
In a letter to parents, Pymble Ladies' College asked parents to keep their daughters at home, with all classes from kindergarten to year 12 to become completely online on Thursday.
The school says the move will prevent transmission of the virus on campus while allowing students to continue their education.
It comes as the University of Sydney announces face-to-face classes will be suspended from Monday, with all teaching to be delivered online.
Shooting on Central Coast, one dead
A man is dead and two people have minor injuries following a shooting on the Central Coast last night.
NSW Police were called to Cutler Drive, Wyong, about 6:00pm but requested assistance from specialist negotiators after a 40-year-old man allegedly fired multiple shots.
After the hour-long stand-off was brought under control, officers found the body of a 20-year-old Wattanobbi man at a home in nearby Maple Street.
A 45-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man sustained minor injuries and remain in a stable condition in hospital.
Sydney student tests positive
A student at the University of Technology has tested positive for COVID-19.
"Twenty-seven students and a staff member who were identified as having come into close contact with the affected student during a single class are being contacted", the university told students in an email.
Intensive cleaning took place overnight in line with NSW Health guidelines, but no other class was affected, the university said.
On Tuesday, UTS paused all teaching activities for a week to allow for social distancing plans to be enacted. Classes are set to resume on Tuesday, March 24.
Quarantine for cruiser-goers
Passengers on board several cruise ships docking in Sydney this morning will be forced to quarantine themselves, as a precautionary measure amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bruce Punch was on board the Royal Caribbean's Voyager cruise ship, which has been floating around Sydney Harbour in recent days waiting to dock.
He said Australian Border Force (ABF) officials told passengers on board the ship they had already served six days of their enforced 14 days' quarantine since leaving their last port in the Pacific Islands.
He said would self-isolate at his south-western Sydney home for another eight days, but "we actually feel we're safer here than back on land, to be quite honest".
Federal Court cancels cases
The Federal Court has cancelled all cases that require people to be in court from today to lessen the risk of coronavirus transmission.
The court is determining the feasibility of matters being heard using remote-access technology.
The Family Court registry in Sydney's Goulburn Street will reopen today after being closed for cleaning prompted by a legal practitioner testing positive for COVID-19.
All new NSW Supreme and District Court jury trials remain suspended until further notice.
