A hotel quarantine worker in New South Wales has tested positive to coronavirus after 26 days with no cases.

The Minto woman worked at the Novotel, which is a quarantine hotel, and IBIS hotels in Darling Harbour.

NSW Health is investigating close contacts.

Health Minister Brad Hazzard told Ben Fordham her five family members have tested negative.

“If you’re in Minto and you’ve got any symptoms you should be getting tested.”

Premier Gladys Berejiklian has assured the planned easing of restrictions next Monday has not yet been affected, but said “I will not hesitate to take action” if linked cases are detected in the community.

Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said “urgent genome sequencing” is taking place to determine the source of the infection, and rule out community transmission.
