A security guard who became infected with coronavirus while working at a quarantine hotel in Sydney is now the subject of an “intense investigation”, health authorities in NSW say.
Genome sequencing traced the security guard’s infection to a returned overseas traveller who was staying at the Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay earlier this month.
The security guard worked at the hotel on August 3, 4, 7 and 8. The hotel guest was swabbed on August 2 and received their positive result on August 4.
