An UberEats rider has been caught on camera asking to be tested for coronavirus before heading straight to a cafe, picking up an order and delivering the meal to an unsuspecting family.

The extraordinary sequence of events unfolded on Wednesday in Bondi, a beachside suburb in Sydney's east that has emerged as a COVID-19 hotspot with 107 confirmed cases to date.

Daily Mail Australia watched the delivery rider arrive at Bondi's walk-in coronavirus clinic at about 1.15pm, when he told staff he wanted to be tested for the deadly bug.

Less than an hour later he was standing outside the Rose Bay home of Jeremy Stein, delivering avocado on toast and a cappuccino to his door.

The man arrived at the makeshift clinic in the Bondi Pavillion, in Sydney's east, at 1.15pm on Wednesday

Despite needing to explain symptoms to a nurse at the entrance, he was turned away minutes later - seemingly failing to fit the criteria required to receive a test - and was back on his bike

Mr Stein was shocked to learn the man who had just delivered his food clearly had concerns about being infected with COVID-19.

'I have been trying to do no contact whenever I order food and normally they leave it at the door and I wait two minutes for them to go before I get it,' he said.

'But this guy sent me a message on the app saying "I've arrived", and I was like: "I can see that on the app, go away" but he just stood there.

'I walked out on to the footpath and he opened the insulated bag for me to pull it out.'

The incident began about 1.15pm when the delivery rider arrived at the Bondi walk-in coronavirus testing clinic.

He was questioned by a nurse manning the entry point to the testing centre over his symptoms, before being sent down to the makeshift clinic inside the Bondi Pavillion.

After a lengthy discussion with a nurse the man was turned away without testing.

Only those who have recently been overseas, have come in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient, or who are suffering severe symptoms are eligible to be tested.

Some 45 minutes after his visit to the testing centre the man went to a Bondi cafe to pick up an order made through Uber Eats

That order of a cappuccino and avocado on toast belonged to Rose Bay local Jeremy Stein

'How was your service?': Mr Stein said he had since sent a please explain to Uber Eats

One of the clinic attendants he spoke to told Daily Mail Australia she was shocked to see him arrive wearing his insulated back pack.

'I initially thought someone here had ordered food, but I couldn't believe it when he asked us to be tested,' the woman said.

'Then he just rode off. You hope he doesn't go and deliver food now.'

But after spending 45 minutes riding around the beachside suburb, that was exactly what he did.

At about 2pm the driver picked up Mr Stein's order of a cappuccino and avocado toast from a cafe and delivered it to his home.

In a bid to combat the risk to delivery riders and customers, Uber and many other food services have initiated 'no contact' delivery.

The ride share giant has also offered financial assistance for up to 14 days for any of its staff who are diagnosed with COVID-19 or are forced to self-isolate.

Regardless, the customer said he had since sent a please explain to Uber Eats.

'It will make me think twice about ordering it again for sure,' Mr Stein said.

The creation of a walk-in clinic at Bondi was followed by a drive-thru clinic which allowed any people with coronavirus symptoms to be tested without leaving their car

There was a steady stream of cars through the makeshift clinic on Wednesday, with all who are tested told to return home and self-isolate until they have their results

Those wanting to be tested must have come in contact with a confirmed patient, have recently returned from overseas or have severe symptoms such as breathing difficulties or a rapid fever

'But I think a bit of that's on Uber, I mean I don't know how you micromanage that, but imagine if he has the virus.'

After initially being warned by his mother not to touch the food, Mr Stein said he felt he would be safe if he washed his hands after removing it from the bag and before eating - assuming the delivery rider had only touched the paper bag.

Pop-up clinics like those in Bondi are being put in place across Australia in an effort to make testing more available.

Victoria - which has the second highest number of confirmed cases in Australia - has already relaxed the requirements for people to be tested for coronavirus.

Anyone whose employment puts them at a higher risk of contracting the virus can now be checked, if they have symptoms.

Those aged over 65 can also now receive a swab test if they are exhibiting a fever or have acute respiratory issues.

There are now more than 6,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Australia, with a total of 50 deaths linked to the virus.

New South Wales has the highest number of cases of any state with roughly 2,700.
