A resident from Sydney’s eastern suburbs has tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday. Urgent investigations into the source of the infection and contact tracing are underway. The man underwent testing yesterday (Tuesday 4 May) and returned a positive result today (Wednesday 5 May). This case will be included in tomorrow’s numbers
It is understood the case, a man in his 50s, has not travelled overseas in recent times and he does not work in a hotel quarantine, border or health role, making health authorities believe the source of infection must be someone else – possibly from interstate.
Genome sequencing is underway, with results expected in the next 24 hours. Close contacts are being urgently contacted, tested and isolating.
The man visited a number of venues while potentially infectious, and NSW Health has asked anyone who attended one of the following venues at the times specified to immediately get tested and isolate until NSW Health provides further information. This advice applies to everyone, including those people who may have been partially or fully vaccinated.
