NSW Health officials are scrambling to contact a number of returned travellers they fear could have been exposed to the South African variant of COVID-19 in a quarantine hotel in Sydney.
Contact tracers are trying to determine whether there was a transmission of the South African strain of COVID-19 inside the Mercure Hotel in Sydney after three returned travellers who stayed in adjacent rooms tested positive.
An individual traveller and a family of two, all staying on the 10th floor of the Mercure Hotel on George St in Sydney's CBD, tested positive during quarantine.
