A long line of people waited outside Goulburn Base Hospital this morning to get tested for COVID-19.
This renewed push for vigilance comes after a person from Melbourne, who has tested positive for COVID-19, visited Goulburn and the South Coast while potentially infectious.

A Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) spokesperson said testing was being provided as normal, and urged eligible people to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
"At this stage there is just one case from Victoria, the person left before lockdown," they said.
NSW Health data showed that as of 8pm May 31 a total of 741 tests had been conducted - with zero locally acquired cases - in the Goulburn Mulwaree area over the past four weeks.
Health district director of medical services Dr Liz Mullins encouraged people to get tested if they had even the slightest symptoms, or if they had been exposed.
The government put out a list of exposure sites last night which included:
- Shell Coles Express Big Merino, Goulburn - 10.00 to 11.30am, Monday, May 24
- Trapper's Bakery, Sowerby Street, Goulburn - 10.30am to 11.30am, Monday, May 24
If you have been to any of these locations during the time and date indicated you should:
- immediately self-isolate until 14 days after you were last there
- get tested even if you have no symptoms
- watch for COVID-19 symptoms and get retested should any symptoms recur
- even if you get a negative test, you must stay in isolation for 14 days as it can take 14 days before you may show symptoms or test positive.
