NSW Health has issued a precautionary alert for sites in Wollongong and south-eastern Sydney after a returned overseas traveller tested positive to COVID-19 two days after leaving their mandatory two-week hotel quarantine.
In a statement issued on Sunday evening, the health department said the person was not showing any symptoms, but had been tested on day 16 as part of an enhanced follow-up strategy for people returning from overseas.
They returned two negative tests during their 14 days in isolation.
The statement said the person has a low level of infection and their household contacts have so far returned negative results.
Their close contacts have already been identified and are in self-isolation.
