We’re asking everybody to be alert, to make sure you get tested if you have the mildest of symptoms and, of course, if you’ve been to Brisbane since 20 March, please make sure you continue to update yourself on the venues which the Queensland government have stated have been attended by infected persons.
Please also make sure that if you returned to New South Wales [from] Brisbane, that you comply with whatever lockdown provisions are in place in Brisbane. If you’ve come back since 20 March and the Queensland government said that Brisbane residents have to be in lockdown for three days, you hve to follow that here in New South Wales, but for those exemptions that are available.
I hope that we do not have any cases arise in New South Wales but I would not be surprised if we did, so we must brace ourselves.
The New South Wales government is confident that we have provisions in place to get on top of it if any cases are revealed. Dr Chant is in regular contact with Queensland authorities and she will be able to provide an update on those conversations but suffice to say we are expecting more cases from Queensland and hopefully most of those cases will be people in isolation although we have to assume this is an evolving situation.
