It normally takes up to 14 days for COVID19 to start showing effects on the body, but authorities say Sydney's new cases are unusual. So why are Sydney cases spreading so fast?

Coronavirus cases linked to Sydney's Crossroads Hotel cluster are becoming infectious just one day after contracting the virus, as cases continue to mount in the city.

The state's Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said several of the cases had developed their COVID-19 symptoms incredibly fast. "It gives you very little time for the contact tracers, because you've got to get your cases diagnosed and then you've got to lock down those contacts," Dr Chant said.
