It is important for the ongoing control of COVID-19 in NSW to follow NSW Health advice.
If you are directed to get tested for COVID-19 or self-isolate by NSW Health at any time, you must follow this advice whether or not the venue or exposure setting is listed on this website. If you have received a SMS from NSW Health please follow the advice and NSW Health will contact you.
If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, get tested immediately and self-isolate until you receive a negative test result. Learn more about symptoms and who should get tested
We thank those who are self-isolating. We appreciate it is difficult if you or your loved one has been identified as a close contact to a confirmed case of COVID-19. However, you must continue to self-isolate for 14 days, even if you receive a negative test result. Thank you for keeping the community safe.
For more information and support at this time:

When a confirmed COVID-19 case attends a venue while possibly infectious, NSW Health carries out a risk assessment on that venue to determine whether there is a public health risk.
NSW Health alerts the public as quickly as possible when there is a venue deemed a public health risk. We do not alert the public of venues if we have obtained a list of people, potentially exposed to the virus, through the venue or other records.
Potentially exposed people identified through these records receive an SMS message from NSW Health advising them to immediately get tested and self-isolate until they receive further advice from contact tracers.
The risk assessment of a venue may change due to a number of factors, including:
In metropolitan Sydney, contact tracing will now focus on people potentially exposed to a case:
For privacy reasons, we will not be publishing addresses of venues that are homes, offices (unless it is a public office), schools and childcare centres.
This revised process on the NSW Government and NSW Health websites reflects the fact there is a very low risk of infection in casual contact venues. We will continue to alert the public on close contact venues.
It is critical people continue to check in to all venues using QR codes if leaving their homes. If you are unable to check in using a mobile phone, you can check in using the COVID-19 check-in card – apply for one through the Service NSW website.
NSW Health will continue to identify all contact venues in areas outside of metropolitan Sydney, including the Central Coast, Illawarra and Blue Mountains.
Case location times are listed in the local time zone. For example, venues in Broken Hill are listed in Central Standard Time (CST)
