On the morning a hairdresser was about to unknowingly take Covid-19 from the northern beaches to the boutique eastern Sydney suburb of Paddington, the person went out for breakfast.
It was Wednesday, December 16, and the hair-stylist left home and drove to Pronto Creative Foods, a popular Italian cafe on Barrenjoey Road.
Stopping after 7.30am, the hairdresser then travelled 40km to inner suburban Sydney and one of its most fashionable strips, William Street in Paddington.
There the person started work at Salon X, working on clients including a woman who worked at Alimentari Cafe, four doors down.
