NSW Health is scrambling to find the source of the infection. The man has not recently travelled overseas, but he works as a driver and transports international flight crew.
The list of venues of concern will be updated as investigations continue.
ACT Health said people in the ACT who have recently travelled to the areas identified should check the exposure sites on the NSW Health website and follow the health advice.
“We are monitoring the situation and will provide updated advice to the Canberra community as needed,” an ACT Health spokesperson said.
People are urged to check the NSW Health website regularly.
