A new Covid-19 community case has been reported in Sydney, with no known links to the border or overseas travel. New South Wales Health confirmed the man in his 50s, who lives in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, has not travelled overseas recently and doesn’t work at a managed isolation facility, at the border or in a health role. ‘‘In this case, we’re really interested in how this person acquired the infection to understand the broader risk in the community,’’ Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said.The results of the man’s test, which were returned yesterday morning, showed he had a high viral load. This suggests he was potentiall­y highly infectious.
