Covid Australia live update: Sydney outbreak spreads to Goulburn; Victoria records three new cases; Melbourne and Bondi apartment blocks in lockdown

So we have those three cases, one of them in hotel quarantine tested positive on day one, had just returned from the UK via Singapore. Then the other two cases are cases in the community, both related to the Greek Orthodox community centre admin area, and both went into home quarantine when they were identified as close contacts.

And they tested negative when they went into quarantine and tested negative again and then both have tested positive on day 12.

Both are well, symptom-free, and so they have already been spoken with and they have remained in their homes and so have other people living in those households who have also been in their homes. So there is no risk, very little at all, with those two individuals.

But it does prove that it doesn’t matter how many negative tests you get, you can up to that 14 days’ incubation period still test positive.
