The screening also applies to staff, who will be required to be symptom-free for 14 days before returning to work, if they have travelled to Melbourne or affected parts of Victoria.
"Anyone who has come from Melbourne, including NSW residents, should not attend aged care facilities, hospitals or other settings with vulnerable people for a period of 14 days," MLHD Chief Executive Jill Ludford said.
