Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said on Tuesday night that the virus was moving faster than any other strain we ve dealt with . We re seeing transmissions in settings and circumstances we ve never seen before, he said.
His comments came as a new positive case was identified in a Victorian who had travelled to New South Wales and back again, prompting a whole raft of new exposure sites.
For the first time, health officials have seen four or five cases where people were infected by strangers by casual contacts.
