New South Wales Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said there is a possibility of a missing link between the two locally acquired COVID-19 cases and a US traveller in hotel quarantine who share the same virus strain.

“The sequence from our new cases matched with the overseas case who has travelled from the US and went to the Park Royal at Darling Harbour, the person was tested on day one and was positive and was moved to the SHA, the Sydney Health Accommodation, on the 28th [of May],” she said.

Dr Chant said NSW Health was “currently reviewing any CCTV footage to look at how transmission occurred” but said there was no direct link they had found.

“We can’t find any direct link between our case so what we’re concerned about is there another person that is yet unidentified that passed it onto our case.”
