Travelling to and from NSW
There are no restrictions for entering NSW, but it is recommended that you monitor closely for symptoms of COVID-19.
If you develop symptoms, it is recommended you get tested for COVID-19 and stay at home or in your accommodation until your symptoms have resolved, even if you receive a negative result.
If you test positive to COVID-19 using a rapid antigen test, NSW Health recommends you register your result with Service NSW.
People should understand who is at higher risk of severe illness and seek advice from a doctor about antivirals if they get sick.
