The potential transmission took place is between January 20 and January 28 and involves a family of five and a woman on the same floor within the quarantine hotel.

"The family tested positive on January 24 following their day three swabs and were moved to a health hotel and subsequently tested positive to the coronavirus UK variant," a government statement reads. She was moved to a health hotel and her husband has tested negative to his day three and 11 swabs, but will continue to undergo further testing as an additional precaution.

"The viral load of the room of the family of five was so high that just opening the door to pick up food saw the virus travel into the corridor," Ms Neville said.
