New South Wales update
At this stage, the public health assessment is that the risk to New Zealand from New South Wales remains low.
New Zealand officials remain in contact with their Australian counterparts following the confirmation of two positive cases of COVID-19 in the community in Sydney.
A further risk assessment is underway and an update is expected later today.
Quarantine Free Travel from New South Wales to New Zealand was paused from 11.59pm on Thursday night as a precautionary measure as investigations continue as a response to these cases.
Information about locations of interest visited by the cases is available on the New South Wales health website: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/case-locations-and-alerts.aspx
