WA Health has issued advice for recently returned travellers from New South Wales following a public health alert issued for parts of Sydney.

Anyone who has been in an identified relevant location during the relevant times should get tested immediately for COVID-19 and quarantine for 14 days from their date of exposure.

The positive case was considered infectious from 30 April to 4 May.

Recently returned travellers from NSW should continue to monitor the NSW Health website, as new locations are likely to be added.

NSW Health is in the process of contact tracing the case and will notify WA Health if any close or casual contacts were found to be in WA.
