People who have been in Victoria on and from 12 May should check the Victoria Department of Health and Human Services website regularly, and immediately follow the relevant public health advice if they have been to any of the listed venues of concern. Anyone who has attended any of these venues at the specified times should contact NSW Health immediately on 1800 943 553.

Please check the website regularly as venues of concern continue to be identified and the associated advice for people who have attended previously reported venues may change.

Fifty-eight 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.

Anyone who has arrived in NSW from Victoria since 4pm on Thursday 27 May is reminded that they must remain at their home or place of residence in NSW for the seven-day duration of the Victorian measures. They are only permitted to leave their places of residence for limited reasons, including shopping for essential items, medical care including COVID-19 vaccinations, caregiving, outdoor exercise, and essential work or education, if it cannot be done from home.

For NSW residents living along the Victorian border, the seven-day stay-at-home requirement only applies if they have been outside the border region in Victoria since 4pm on Thursday 27 May. The border communities are defined by the map which was used for the previous 'bubble' arrangements.

Anyone arriving in NSW by air, rail or road from Victoria (except those travelling within the defined border region) must complete a travel declaration that confirms they have not attended a venue of concern. The declaration form is available on the Service NSW website, and can be completed in the 24 hours before entering NSW or on arrival. The information gathered via these declarations is vital in allowing NSW Health to contact travellers if necessary.

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.

Everyone is urged to continue to take 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.

Anyone experiencing even the mildest of cold-like symptoms should come forward immediately for testing, then isolate until a negative result is received. There are more than 300 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW. To find your nearest clinic, visit COVID-19 clinics or contact your GP.

NSW Health is treating 31 COVID-19 cases, one of whom is in intensive care but does not require a ventilator. Most cases (90 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.
