New South Wales has recorded zero cases of the CCP virus 24 hours after the state went on high alert after a potentially infectious Victorian man travelled extensively through the southern regions of the state.

The man and his family, who were on a trip to Jervis Bay and Hyam’s Beach, from May 19 to May 24, visited a number of venues and locations that have now become possible COVID-19 hotspots. The man developed symptoms on May 25 when he was back in Victoria, but did not get tested until nearly a week later.
