Health authorities are racing to investigate a new variant of concern from India that is rapidly spreading abroad and is at the centre of Sydney's cases.

Former deputy chief medical officer, Dr Nick Coatsworth, has toldWhile Dr Coatsworth said officials have always worked out how people have caught the virus in the past, he said there was a concern it's currently spreading through the community undetected.

"I think what we've got to remember is when this has happened before, and there have been mystery links, we have found them," he said. "The NSW public health team have proven themselves to be world leading, nation leading in the past and world leading and they will do on this occasion as well."At this stage it's absolutely a real mystery.

"We know it's a variant that's come from the United States. It's not one of the variants of concern, so it's not one of the variants that tends to spread more rapidly within the community, and that's good news. "But what that link might be, between a returned traveller and hotel quarantine and this particular gentleman is not yet known."
