For the first time in months, the Southern NSW Local Health District has recorded no new COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8 pm last night.
This keeps the total cases in SNSWLHD at 389 since the start of the current outbreak in June.
However, health authorities have been notified of two new venues of concern. Anyone who visited one of these venues at the times listed is a casual contact and must immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result is received.
Staff will be contacted separately by SNSWLHD’s Public Health Unit regarding their testing and isolation requirements.

- Coles, Goulburn Shopping Centre, Sunday 3 October, 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm;
- Wombat Holes Mini Golf, Tathra, Friday 1 October, 3:15 pm to 5:45 pm.
Anyone who checked in to a venue of concern during the times listed, using the Service NSW QR app, will be notified by SMS from NSW Health as soon as possible over the next 48 hours.
