NSW Health was advised last night (Tuesday 1 June) by the Victoria Department of Health and Human Services that a confirmed case of COVID-19 from Melbourne visited venues in Jervis Bay, Goulburn, Hyams Beach and Vincentia while potentially infectious on 23 and 24 May.

The person, who reported onset of symptoms on 25 May and was tested on 31 May, drove back to Melbourne on 24 May, three days before Victoria's stay-at-home measures took effect.

Venues of concern continue to be identified and the associated advice for people who have attended previously reported venues may change. Anyone who is now in NSW and has attended any of these venues at the specified times should contact NSW Health immediately on 1800 943 553.

Sixty-four close contacts in NSW have now returned negative results. These people will continue to isolate for 14 days from their exposure date and will be tested again before the end of their isolation period.

Nobody from Victoria should be travelling to NSW without permission, except for those travelling within the defined border region. Anyone arriving in NSW by air, rail or road from Victoria (except for designated border communities) must complete a travel declaration. The declaration form is available on the Service NSW website, and can be completed in the 24 hours before entering NSW or on arrival.

NSW Health strongly advises against all non-essential travel to Victoria. People who do choose to travel will be required to follow the Victorian stay-at-home requirements on their return to NSW.

Please continue to take all practical measures to stay COVID-safe, including practising good hand hygiene, and always using QR codes to check in to and out of venues. Masks are recommended in any situation where physical distancing is not possible, such as on public transport.

If you have any symptoms that could signal COVID, no matter how mild, please come forward immediately for testing, then isolate until you receive a negative result.
