NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said it had become apparent in past few days the Delta virus strain was a "near and present danger".
"It is a virus that is very capable of transmitting even when we have very fleeting proximity between the individual who is infectious, and any of us who might be passing by," Mr Hazzard said.
CCTV footage showed the case detected on Friday, a man in his 50s, caught the virus from the limousine driver — the original case from the Eastern suburbs cluster — after they were briefly standing near each other in the Myer store at Bondi Junction Westfield.
"It would appear he was somewhere in the range of between 10 and possibly 50-60 centimetres away in a passing situation," Mr Hazzard said.
"Each had stood not far away from each other from a very short period of time and then it would appear that one of them possibly moved through the airspace that the other one had occupied."

I would like to see this “fleeting proximity”. Surely the footage could be released; it would balance out skepticism and reasonably moderate fear of proximists who fleeted.
