NSW has recorded no new locally acquired COVID-19 cases despite the south coast being on alert after health authorities added more venues to the state's list of exposure sites.
Key points:
- NSW Health says the number of exposed sites could increase
- Extra COVID-19 testing clinics have been set up in the south coast region
- A record 14,595 vaccines were administered in the reporting period
NSW Health released information about the extra venues last night after a Melbourne family visited the region while potentially infectious.
The father initially tested positive, however all four members of the family have since been confirmed as having COVID-19.
That has prompted health authorities to expand the period the family was in the region while possibly infectious, taking it to between May 19 and May 24.
Anyone who visited the following venues should get tested and isolate until receiving further information from NSW Health:
- The Coffee Pedaler, Gundagai, between 9:30am and 11:15am on May 19
- Green Patch campground, Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay, all day May 23 until 9:00am May 24, and between 4:00pm on May 19 and 9:00am on May 24
- 5 Little Pigs, Huskisson, between 8:00am and 11:30am on May 21
- Huskisson Treasure Chest, Huskisson, between 11:30am and 12:00pm on May 21
- Cooked Goose Cafe (formerly Hyams Beach Cafe), Hyams Beach, between 10:00am and 12:00pm on May 23
- Coles Vincentia Shopping Village, Vincentia, between 12:00pm and 1:00pm on May 21, between 12:00pm and 1:00pm on May 22, and between 12:00pm and 1:00pm on May 23
- Shell Coles Express Big Merino, Goulburn, between 10:00am and 11:30am on May 24 and between 1:45pm and 2:05pm on May 19

- Junque and Disorderly Antique Site, Gundagai, between 11:00am and 12:00pm on May 19
NSW Health said the movements of the family continue to be investigated and the list of venues could be updated.
The man, who reported the onset of symptoms on May 25, drove back to Melbourne on May 24 and got tested on May 31. Victoria's stay-at-home measures took effect on May 27.
His family members later tested positive.
