So far, six people have tested positive for the virus and the hunt is on for the mystery super-spreader behind the outbreak.
Authorities are urging people who have been in the area to come forward and get tested, even if they are showing the mildest symptoms.
‘We want to get on top of this and don’t want this concerning us in the last few days before Christmas and urging everyone to be as vigilant as ever,’ said New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
