NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard says van driver tested positive to coronavirus
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has revealed a 45-year-old man has tested positive for coronavirus in the state this morning.
It’s the state’s first locally acquired coronavirus infection since a hotel quarantine worker tested positive at 1.30am on Thursday, December 3.
Mr Hazzard said the man “drives vans carrying international and other aircrew back and forth to the airport”.
The man’s household contacts are being tested and NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said genomic sequencing — which could trace the origin of the man’s infection to overseas strains of the virus — were pending.
More to come.
