Two Victorians who tested positive to COVID-19 visited venues in Eden and Bermagui on Wednesday and Thursday, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.
The positive cases visited the Great Southern Hotel in Eden on Wednesday from 5pm to 6.30pm. Contact tracing is underway.
As well, they visited the Bermi's Beachside Cafe in Bermagui on Thursday about 9am to 10am. NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said they were in the process of contacting that venue.
People who attended the venues at that time have been asked to get tested and isolate. NSW Health will provide further advice.
Details were scant on Friday morning as they had come "hot off the press", Dr Chant said.
Dr Chant said they were working with Victorian health authorities. She said the Victorians had indicated they might have a link with someone who had travelled to Sydney but Dr Chant confirmed that person had tested negative.
People in the Bermagui area have been urged to monitor for symptoms.
"It is important if you are hearing this and you know anybody within the Bermagui area that you reach to them and make sure that they are aware of the situation," Dr Chant said.
"We understand that there may be a lot of visitors who have travelled to that part over the festive season."
It came as NSW recorded three locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm on Thursday from 32,000 tests.
All were located in Western Sydney, two members are from the same households.
More to come.
A positive COVID-19 case visited venues in Bega and Bermagui.
