NSW Health is treating 45 COVID-19 cases, none of whom are in ICU. Most cases (96 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.
There has been a decline in people reporting symptoms coming forward for COVID testing in recent weeks.
High testing rates are the cornerstone for detecting any potential transmission of COVID-19 in the community and preventing the virus spreading further.
To keep your friends, family and community safe, NSW Health strongly urges you to come forward for testing with even the mildest of symptoms.
There are more than 350 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW and testing capacity has been significantly increased in northern NSW in the past week. To find your nearest clinic, visit
COVID-19 testing clinics or contact your GP.
