New South Wales has again recorded locally acquired coronavirus cases, after the virus was transmitted in hotel quarantine.
The state’s health department said three people in one family acquired the virus from a family of four staying in an adjacent room in the Adina Apartment Hotel Town Hall in Sydney’s CBD.
The two families have been diagnosed with the same viral sequence.
All guests staying on the same floor have been retested and returned negative results.
Staff who worked on level 12 are in self-isolation and undergoing testing.
Investigations are continuing into how the transmission occurred.
