Posting on its Facebook page around midnight Wednesday, NSW Health said anyone who attended the following South Coast venues at the times listed below should monitor for symptoms and, if they occur, get tested immediately and self-isolate until you receive a negative result:
- Kangaroo Valley , Nostalgia Factor Shop, 167 Moss Vale Road, Kangaroo Island: Sunday 27 December 11.20am to 11.30am
- Huskisson, Taj Indian Restaurant, 2/47 Owen St, Huskisson Sunday 27 December, 4.45pm to 5.20pm
ACT Health urged anyone who was in those venues at those times to "monitor for symptoms and if they occur, get tested immediately and self-isolate until you receive a negative result".
"ACT Health is also urging the ACT community not to travel to Greater Sydney, Central Coast or Wollongong at this time, including for the cricket test match. If you do, you will be required to quarantine upon your return to the ACT."

Meanwhile, the ACT has recorded another day with no new cases.
Authorities are urging Canberrans in quarantine to do the right thing.
"While many Canberrans are doing the right thing, with around 2,700 people from COVID-19 affected areas of NSW currently in quarantine in the ACT, this is a reminder about how to quarantine appropriately at home," it said in a statement.
"Some people who have COVID-19 may be infectious for a short period before they develop any symptoms, and a small number of people may not show any symptoms at all. For this reason, people who are at a higher risk of being exposed to COVID-19 are required to go into quarantine to protect other members of the community."
