Mandatory testing of staff at quarantine hotels still not in place
Urgent genome sequencing and contact tracing continue after a south-west Sydney woman who
worked at a quarantine hotel contracted COVID-19.
The woman, who worked at the Novotel and Ibis hotels in Darling Harbour from Friday, November 27, to Monday, did not have direct contact with infected overseas quarantine patients.
It has also been revealed mandatory testing of all staff is yet to be rolled out across all Sydney quarantine hotels.
NSW Health told the ABC it was still working to implement weekly testing at its police-run hotels.
A health alert to self-isolate and be tested has been issued for people who travelled at particular times by light rail between Convention and Central and by train between Minto, Lidcombe and Central between the Friday and Monday.
MORNING BRIEFING: NSW Health says it is still working to implement weekly testing at its police-run hotels following a Sydney quarantine hotel worker contracting coronavirus, and police are investigating after two elderly people were found with stab wounds.
