A confirmed COVID-19 case in Western Australia allegedly violated quarantine for traveling in a ride share vehicle on Wednesday.
The WA Department of Health told 7NEWS that the risk to the community was minimal, but that the person should never have left a hotel room in the city they were in to self-isolate.
7NEWS understands that the person took a ride share service to attend the Royal Perth Hospital testing clinic before being tracked down.
They were then shifted to a state-run quarantine hotel through special isolation ambulances.
Officials are now trying to track down the ride share driver who was exposed to the virus.
Tests on Wednesday afternoon confirmed that the man he was driving is still COVID positive.
Contact tracers are working to identify any other exposure sites, as well as trying to prevent alerts from a woman with a mystery source of infection earlier on Wednesday.
