The case was diagnosed in a 45-year-old man who was driving vans carrying international air crews to and from Sydney Airport.
She first had symptoms on Saturday, but didn’t get tested until Tuesday afternoon.
He was confirmed positive for the virus early Wednesday morning.
“(This) highlights what I was talking about last week when I said that the focus of the NSW government, as the virus seemed to be contained in terms of community transmission, our most exposed areas (were) mainly around our borders, “Hazzard said. reporters.
“Obviously, we can be an island, but we are not totally isolated from the pandemic that is hitting the world.”
