The three new cases are all reportedly located in Beauty Point and are linked to known cases in the Eurobodalla shire the health district said.

While initially recorded as Eurobodalla cases, the SNSWLHD quickly corrected the information, with Beauty Point located on the Bega Valley side of Wallaga Lake, the bridge being the boundary between the two shires.

The confirmation makes these three the first cases of COVID-19 in the Bega Valley since early 2020.

Two cases reported in Merimbula last month were both found to be false positives and removed from the official figures.

Meanwhile, on Monday, October 4, SNSWLHD also released two new COVID-19 venues of concern in Bermagui.

Tuesday, September 28, 1.20pm to 1.50pm: Bermagui BP, 8 Wallaga Lake Road

Tuesday, September 28, 1pm to 2pm: Bermagui Woolworths, 1-9 Young Street

If you were at either of these venues at the noted times, you should get tested immediately and self-isolate until you get a negative result.

If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, get tested immediately and self-isolate until you receive a negative test result.
