NSW Health is contacting thousands of people who have returned from Brisbane in the last week in response to the developing COVID-19 situation there.

More than 20,000 people who entered NSW on flights between March 20 and 26 are being contacted, through SMS and email, to tell them to get tested and isolate if they have visited any venues of concern listed by Queensland Health.

Nine close contacts in NSW have been identified so far and have been instructed to undergo a COVID-19 test and self-isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result.
