The amended public health orders relating to visiting Melbourne residents from outbreak hotspots came into effect in the early hours of yesterday morning, NSW Health has been screening every passenger who arrives by XPT into Central Station from Melbourne since yesterday and will continue to do so.
Screening, which includes temperature testing, checking for visible symptoms and questions about history, is also in place at regional and metropolitan airports.
All passengers who arrive have their temperature checked, and are asked questions about both their health, their travel in Victoria, if they are from a Victorian hot spot, and their reasons for travel.
Any passengers who display any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, are tested for the virus and directed to self-isolate.
Any passenger who is identified as coming from a hot spot and does not meet the very strict eligibility for travel are directed to NSW Police officers.
None of these travellers have yet been identified as positive for COVID-19.
There are 67 COVID-19 cases being treated by NSW Health, with one in intensive care. They do not require a ventilator. In NSW, 2,789 people are known to have recovered from COVID-19.
There is a possible case in an 18-year-old male student from Green Point Christian College on the Central Coast. Confirmation of results is in progress. The school will be closed tomorrow as a precaution while investigations continue.
Anyone feeling unwell - even with the mildest of symptoms such as a runny nose or scratchy throat – is urged to self-isolate and seek testing. A full list of COVID-19 testing clinics is available at COVID-19 Clinics or people can visit their GP.
It is essential people follow directions they receive about home isolation and quarantine and maintain COVID-safe practices of physical distancing of 1.5 metres and regularly wash their hands.
Counts reported for a particular day may vary over time with ongoing enhanced surveillance activities.
