Southern NSW Local Health District is continuing to urge the community to get tested for COVID-19 if experiencing any symptoms, with new testing clinics opening in Merimbula and Yass and clinic opening hours changing in Jindabyne.
If symptoms appear, including headache, nausea, sore throat, loss of smell or taste and fever, people must isolate and get tested immediately, and remain isolated until a negative result is received.
Contact tracing of new cases in Pambula has been completed, and staff at two venues have been assessed as casual contacts. Patrons at one venue have been assessed as low risk. All close contacts have been contacted.
