The Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) was notified of the three cases in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
The community is reminded to remain vigilant for symptoms and get tested if any appear, no matter how mild.
Symptoms include cold or flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough or shortness of breath.
People with mild symptoms, such as fatigue, new muscle aches or pains, a change in taste or smell or a new runny nose, should also arrange testing as quickly as possible.
High rates of testing are critical to detecting transmission and preventing further spread of COVID-19 in the community.
