NSW Health revealed overnight a confirmed case of Covid-19 said they travelled from Melbourne to Jervis Bay, Goulburn, Hyams Beach, and Vincentia while potentially infectious on 23 and 24 May.
The person, who reported the onset of symptoms on 25 May and was tested yesterday, drove back to Melbourne on 24 May.

NSW Health has advised anyone who was at those venues at the times listed to immediately call 1800 943 553, get tested and isolate until you receive further information from NSW Health.
The department said that the list of NSW venues is likely to be updated.
“NSW Health is in the process of increasing testing capacity in the area, including a drive-through pop-up COVID-19 testing clinic in Huskisson,” the department said. “Anyone who lives in Jervis Bay, or has visited Jervis Bay since 22 May, is asked to be especially vigilant for the onset of even the mildest of cold-like symptoms, and is urged to come forward for testing immediately if they appear, then isolate until a negative result is received. Additionally, anyone who has recently had symptoms should also get tested.”
