A NSW Health spokesperson said people who attended the Oasis concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney on Saturday should monitor for symptoms until Friday, November 28.
The person left Brisbane Airport last Saturday morning (November 8), returning Monday night and locations they visited other than the concert included Sydney Airport, the CBD and inner-west Sydney, using trains.
A full list of locations is posted on the Queensland and NSW Health websites.
“These locations pose no ongoing risk,” NSW Health said.
Anyone who attended American singer Jelly Roll’s Brisbane show on October 24 could have been exposed and is urged to be on the lookout for symptoms.
The three people spent time in the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Wide Bay areas while unknowingly infectious, Queensland Health said.
