Health authorities confirmed the active cases on Thursday, saying the men, one aged in his 40s and another aged under 20, had tested negative before travelling to Singapore so likely contracted the virus while in transit from overseas to the ACT.
The pair were on board a government chartered plane with 173 others, most of whom are in hotel quarantine in Canberra, but 31 of whom went on to quarantine in Sydney. Of the 177 people on the flight to Canberra, 31 flew on to Sydney. Picture: NCA NewsWire/Bianca De MarchiAll those quarantining in Canberra returned negative day one test results.
On Saturday, health authorities said genome sequencing showed both travellers had been infected with the South African variant but were well and had been moved to a separate area of the hotel for further care and support.“ACT Health is continuing to liaise with NSW Health authorities and Singapore Airlines about the two cases to support other contact tracing efforts.”
NSW recorded three new active cases in returned overseas travellers on Saturday but no new locally acquired cases for the 48th consecutive day.One of the 56 cases being treated for the virus in NSW is in intensive care but does not require a ventilator.
