“Anyone who has visited an exposure location during the dates and times listed should monitor for symptoms and, if symptomatic, wear a mask and seek medical care,” he said.

“Before presenting at a GP clinic or emergency department, call ahead so staff can ensure you do not infect other patients and staff.”
