The Sydney couple who have mysteriously tested positive to coronavirus are infected by the double mutant Indian variant of the disease.
The B.1.617 strain was identified in the subcontinent in October, with two key mutations to the outer-spike protein that helps the virus bind and enter cells.
The couple have the second of three subvariants known as B.1.617.2. Scientists are not yet sure if the strain is more infectious or more deadly than original Covid, but many fear it probably is.

Queenslanders have been put on alert after NSW recorded a new local Covid case with no known link to other infections.
NSW Health revealed on Wednesday a man in his 50s from Sydney s eastern suburbs tested positive to the virus after visiting a spate of venues across the city.
Queensland Health have now ordered anyone in the Sunshine State who visited a Covid exposure site in NSW during the specified times to quarantine at home. NSW Health has already made it clear that anyone who has been to any of those venues, should be quarantining, and not getting on flights, Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said.
