The Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) was notified of the case in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
Although there were no new venues of concern, everyone in the district should be alert for any symptoms that could signal COVID-19, including headache, nausea, sore throat, runny nose, cough, loss of smell or taste, or fever.
If symptoms appear, people must isolate and get tested immediately, and remain isolated until a negative result is received.
Meanwhile, NSW recorded 236 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
