Nearly 346,000 people have now been tested for COVID-19 in NSW, which has one of the highest testing rates in the world.

NSW Health would like to thank those with symptoms for coming forward, getting tested and ensuring cases in the community are identified as quickly as possible.

There are now 2,605 people who have recovered from COVID-19 in NSW.

One case is an overseas traveller who recently flew from Brisbane Sydney after completing their mandatory 14-day quarantine period in Brisbane. This person developed symptoms afterwards and it is likely they were infectious on the flight to Sydney.

NSW Health is contact tracing all close contacts in NSW and on the flight to Sydney, and is working with other jurisdictions to identify any other close contacts.

NSW Health is alerting all passengers and crew on flight QF537 from Brisbane to Sydney on Tuesday 12 May, arriving at around 4.05pm to monitor for symptoms, and contact their GP, (call ahead before visiting), or call healthdirect on 1800 022 222, or visit a NSW Health COVID-19/Flu assessment clinic should they become unwell. Close contacts were in rows 31 – 35.

NSW Health is urging people with symptoms, including mild symptoms, to be tested to ensure as many cases of COVID-19 in the community are identified as quickly as possible.
