Genomic testing has identified that a Sydney security guard who’s tested positive to COVID-19 has the same highly contagious UK strain of the virus as a returned traveller who stayed at a hotel where he worked.

While no further cases of community transmission were recorded in NSW in the 24-hours until 8 p.m. on Sunday, the quarantine period has been extended for some of those staying at the Sydney Sofitel.
