New South Wales

NSW Health has issued a public health alert after an individual who had visited a number of locations in south NSW later returned a positive COVID-19 test on return to Melbourne.

The person was in Jervis Bay, Goulburn, Hyams Beach, and Vincentia while potentially infectious on 23 and 24 May.

Anyone who was at a location of interest who is now in New Zealand should call Healthline, get a test for COVID-19, and isolate until you receive a negative result.
