He had been working as a van driver shuttling airline crew between Sydney airport and their accommodation.

Virus detectives are searching for the source of a concerning COVID-19 cluster in Sydney’s west as northern beaches residents wait to hear what relief from restrictions Premier Gladys Berejiklian will grant them on Saturday.

“At this point the western Sydney cases are not linked [to the Avalon cluster]. We’ll be interested whether that sequence matches the Avalon cluster,” Dr Chant said, though there were other possibilities, such as the patient transport worker living in western Sydney who caught the virus from the overseas returned travellers he had shuttled.
