NSW Health continues to closely monitor the situation in Queensland, as local health authorities investigate a case of COVID-19 detected in the Brisbane community.

Anyone entering NSW by any means who has been in Brisbane City Council or Moreton Bay Regional Council areas in the past 14 days is required to complete a passenger declaration form, which includes confirmation of whether they have visited any venues of high concern (listed as 'close contact venues' on the Queensland Health website). This information is important to help NSW Health contact them if required.

If you have attended a close-contact venue as listed on the Queensland Health website, you should not enter NSW, as these are venues of high concern.

If you have attended a venue of high concern and are already in NSW, you should immediately self-isolate and call NSW Health on 1800 943 553.

Other arrivals to NSW from Queensland, particularly those who have been in the Brisbane City Council or Moreton Bay Regional Council areas, are asked to be vigilant for symptoms, regularly check the Queensland Health website for updates and follow the advice.
