How every coronavirus case in Sydney’s current outbreak links

A superspreader birthday party, a waiting room and a bustling shopping centre were where some of the latest cases contracted Covid-19.

Dozens of coronavirus cases have rapidly emerged in Sydney after an airport transfer driver contracted the virus and unwittingly spread it through the city.

One week on from his positive test, more than 30 Sydneysiders have been infected and tough restrictions have been enforced to prevent further spread.

Here is what we know about each of the cases in the current coronavirus outbreak.

Case One

A limousine driver in his 60s from Sydney’s eastern suburbs who transported international flight crew returned a positive result on June 16.

He visited the Event Cinema inside Westfield Bondi Junction on June 13 between 1.30pm and 4pm, as well as Belle Café in Vaucluse on June 11, 12, 13 and 15.
