The child contracted the infection in India – where there is currently a global outbreak of more than 45,000 cases – before returning to Sydney. Venues where residents may have been exposed on Monday have been limited to Westfield Parramatta from 9am-10am, Argyle Street Medical Centre from 9.15am-10am and the hospital's emergency department waiting room from 12pm-9.30pm.
