There are under 20 residents living at the Richmond complex who will now be required to stay inside their flat for the next 14 days.
It is understood that a number of other people residing in the complex have also been taking into hotel quarantine.
The sole entrance the building has been blocked off with police tape and a sign warning people to stay away placed outside.
Acting COVID-19 Commander Naomi Bromley said that the site is currently being assessed for risks, including whether or not the ventilation within the building may have infected other residents.
“The residents there have had information provided to them about what we’re asking them to do, which is to quarantine,” she said.
“We have a number of apartments that are being supported at the moment, and they’re all really different.
“We won’t always publish information (about the complexes) unless there is a public health risk that needs to be communicated.”
Some residents were not told that there was the positive case inside the building for several days.
“As new information becomes available, that will be communicated in different ways,” Ms Bromley said.
Ms Bromley said that the “risks are being managed” in terms of whether other residents might have been exposed through ventilation or common areas.
“Some residents have moved to hotel quarantine others are isolating in their apartments,” she said.
“That complex has all been tested and I believe all of their results have come back negative to date.”
In the past 24 hours to midnight more than 25,000 tests were conducted.
Just one new exposure site has been released in the last day by health authorities.
