The NSW North Coast lockdown that began yesterday was sparked by a positive COVID-19 case in a crew member who flew to Byron Bay to work on Network Ten’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The Local Government Areas of Kempsey, Byron and Tweed were plunged into lockdown from 5pm on Tuesday, with NSW Health issuing stay-at-home orders after a single COVID-19 case was reported in Byron Bay.

The case travelled from Sydney, with a permit, having tested negative to COVID-19 before departing, but then tested positive after arriving in Ballina on Saturday morning.
