The case of concern is in a person who completed their hotel quarantine and then tested positive for the virus on day 16.

Dr McAnulty said initial investigations suggest the case was acquired overseas and it is not thought they contracted the virus in hotel quarantine.The day 16 test is a relatively new follow-up of overseas travellers after they have been released from hotel quarantine after 14 days. "Test results indicate that the person has a low level of infection and their household contacts have returned negative results to date," a statement said.
