Staff at a Sydney quarantine hotel are self-isolating and undergoing testing after three Covid-19 cases first thought to have been acquired overseas were found to have instead been acquired in hotel quarantine.
Health authorities are investigating a potential transmission of COVID-19 within a quarantine hotel in Sydney.
Seven returned travellers who were being quarantined on the 12th floor of the Adina Apartments Hotel in Town Hall were all found to have the same COVID-19 viral sequence.

The seven people were from two family groups who arrived from different countries and on different days.
However, they stayed in adjacent rooms in the quarantine hotel.
“The cases have previously been counted as overseas-acquired cases in NSW Health’s daily COVID-19 reporting. This classification will be reviewed pending further investigation,” Stephen Conaty, director of population health at the South Western Sydney Local Health District, said on Saturday.
