"All care staff at the facility are required to wear full PPE and submit to regular testing, which is how the staff case was detected," the Health Department said in statement on Sunday.
"The staff member had not worked at other facilities."

"This means that over 5 million vaccines have now been delivered in Australia," he told reporters on Sunday afternoon.
