A woman in her 60s is the second person in the Hunter to be diagnosed with Coronavirus.
She’s now in isolation at home, with Hunter New England Health staff performing daily checks on her.
The female in her 60s has not travelled internationally recently and the source of her infection is still being investigated.
She received outpatient care at the Calvary Mater Newcastle Radiation Oncology Unit between March 4 and 12.
New South Wales Health says any patients or staff who are possible casual contacts are being contacted as a precaution, and the woman’s close contacts have been alerted and asked to self-isolate.
There is no connection between this COVID-19 case and the previous one from earlier in the week.
