Due to the latest COVID-19 cases in Western Australia, anyone who has been in Perth since Tuesday 27 April should, prior to travelling to NSW, check the NSW COVID-19 concerns notice and exemption to determine if they have been to any places of high concern.

Anyone currently in NSW who has been in Perth since 27 April should check if they have been to a place of high concern. If you have, please immediately isolate, get tested, and call NSW Health on 1800 943 553.

NSW Health reminds all travellers that an entry declaration must be completed if you have been to WA within 14 days of entering NSW.

As these latest cases in Perth show, COVID-19 can re-emerge at any time. NSW Health urges everyone with the slightest of cold-like symptoms to immediately isolate and be tested, and to remain in isolation 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 testing clinics or contact your GP.

NSW Health is treating 108 COVID-19 cases, one of whom is in intensive care and being ventilated. Most cases (97 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.
