  • Monitor Queensland Health regularly to check if you have attended any of the venues/places listed and immediately follow the Queensland Health public health advice and contact NSW Health on 1800 943 553 so we can support you with access to testing.
  • Avoid non-essential visits to hospitals and residential aged care facilities and disability residential care services until further notice. Please continue to seek medical care as usual.
  • People who have been in the two areas who work in hospitals, residential aged care facilities and disability residential care services should check with their employer, monitor the Queensland Health website for further advice and use masks when at work.
