Public health alert - further venues

30 December 2020

NSW Health has been notified of a number of venues that have been visited by confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Advice for people who attended two Greek Orthodox churches in Wollongong has been updated. This replaces previous advice that anyone who attended either church should get tested immediately and self-isolate until they receive further advice from NSW Health.

New advice for St Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church, 39 Atchison Street, Wollongong, is that anyone who attended on Sunday, 27 December between 9am and 10.15am is a close contact and must get tested and isolate for 14 days regardless of the result.

New advice for the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church, 18 Stewart St, Wollongong, is that anyone who attended on Sunday, 27 December between 10.30am and 11am is a casual contact who must get tested and isolate until a negative result is received.

Anyone who visited any of the following venues at the listed times is considered a casual contact who must get tested immediately and isolate until a negative result is received:
