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.
NSW Health officials said on Sunday the three cases in the one family of returned travellers were previously reported as overseas acquired, but have now been reclassified to locally acquired, following transmission in hotel quarantine.
No local cases were reported in the state overnight, however NSW Health said the three people from the same family are believed to have been infected with COVID-19 by a family of four staying in an adjacent room in the Adina Apartment Hotel Town Hall in Sydney.
The families arrived in Australia on different days, from different countries.
