Eleven aged care home residents have been put in isolation in North Sydney after a staff member tested positive for coronavirus.
The woman, in her 50s, is the third confirmed person to have contracted the virus from the New South Wales community, leaving state health authorities questioning how she was infected.
In a press conference on Wednesday, NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the woman had worked at the BaptistCare Dorothy Henderson Lodge aged care facility in North Sydney's Macquarie Park for more than two decades.
