On arrival at the airport, he was immediately advised by Western Australian health authorities of his status as a primary close contact.
He returned directly to his home in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
He was tested yesterday, returning the positive result this morning.
Out of caution, and before the positive test result was known, he was moved into hotel quarantine in Melbourne at his request, where he remains.
Four household and social contacts are associated with this case – the individual’s spouse, his two children, and a friend of one child.
All have been tested.
The department will continue to manage the public health actions associated with this case and will continue to monitor the situation in Western Australia.
