PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT – UPDATED VENUE ADVICE

NSW Health continues to investigate local links and increase opportunities for people in Northern NSW to come forward for COVID-19 testing following more recent COVID 19 cases in Queensland.

No local cases of COVID-19 have been identified in NSW, however contact tracing continues for cases from Queensland who have attended venues in Northern NSW.

NSW Health is providing updated advice for venues visited by previously confirmed Queensland cases of COVID-19 who visited the Byron Bay area. Please check details carefully as they may have changed.

The following are close contact venues. Anyone who attended the following venues at the times listed must immediately get tested and self-isolate for 14 days from the date they were at the venue, regardless of the result:

- Byron Bay - Beach Hotel, 1 Bay Street - Friday, 26 March, 7.15pm-9pm.

- Ewingsdale - Three Blue Ducks restaurant - Terrace, 11 Ewingsdale Road - Sunday, 28 March, 8.45am-9.30am.

The following is a casual contact venue. If you have been to this location at the listed time, you should get tested immediately and isolate until a negative result is received. Continue to monitor for symptoms, and if they appear, get tested again:

- Ewingsdale - The Farm - any other area not listed above (including Poppy and Fern, Wormticklers and other sections of Three Blue Ducks), 11 Ewingsdale Road - Sunday, 28 March, 8.30am-10.30am.

In addition, eighteen people who have travelled from Queensland to NSW have been identified as having attended Queensland close contact venues to date, although four of these have since returned to Queensland.

The fourteen people still in NSW have been directed by NSW Health to undergo a COVID-19 test and to self-isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result. These people will receive regular follow-up contact from NSW Health during this time.

A complete list of venues of concern, and the related health advice, and links to Queensland Health advice is available on the NSW Government website: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates

People from the Byron Bay area, those who visited at the weekend when confirmed COVID-19 cases attended, and people who have been in Queensland should check the website regularly for updates.

NSW Health urges everyone in NSW, especially in the Byron Bay area, with even the mildest symptoms, such as headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat or runny nose, to come forward immediately for testing, then isolate until they receive a negative result.

NSW Health is providing new COVID-19 testing clinics and increasing the hours of existing clinics across Northern NSW today. These clinics are:

• Byron Bay QML Pathology Drive-Through, Cavanbah Sports Ground, 249 Ewingsdale Rd, Byron Bay. Open from 8am to 8pm Monday – Sunday. No referral required.

How good does Jewel Gold Coast look at sunset? I've been fortunate enough to be onsite at these buildings photographing the Penthouse and also the pool area. When the weather is stunning it's a great place to relax.

The idea behind this photograph was simply get a nice reflection of the buildings with the sunsetting in the background. I was originally photographing along the coastline heading north but then sun starting showing off behind the buildings. I think it looks great, how about you?
