Police have charged the teenage son of Byron Bay’s Covid-19 ‘patient zero’

The 19-year-old son of a Sydney man dubbed ‘patient zero’ in a northern New South Wales Covid lockdown has been charged by police.

The teenage son of the man who plunged most of northern NSW into lockdown has also been charged with breaching health restrictions by police.

Rose Bay man Zoran Radovanovic, 52, was charged earlier this week after allegedly leaving Sydney’s lockdown zone to roam through the Byron, Ballina, Casino and Lismore areas for days without wearing a face mask or checking in at venues.

He remains in Lismore Base Hospital after testing positive to Covid-19, which sent four government areas just south of the Queensland border into lockdown.

Police have now also charged his 19-year-old son Kristian Radovanovic with failing to comply with Covid-19 directions and failing to wear a fitted face covering in a taxi or on public transport.

Police will allege he travelled to northern NSW with his father and younger sister.

He is due to appear at Byron Bay Local Court on Monday, September 27.
