There have been no new deaths reported in the last 24 hours.
Both of today’s new cases are acquired from known sources, with one linked to a known COVID-19 case, and the other a returned traveller in hotel quarantine. Neither are linked to clusters.
NSW Health is urging people with symptoms, including mild symptoms, to be tested to ensure as many cases of COVID-19 in the community are as identified as quickly as possible.
This is particularly important in several new areas following a small number of locally acquired cases. These include:
- City of Lithgow Local Government Area
- City of Blue Mountains Local Government Area
- Hornsby Shire Council Local Government Area
- Lane Cove Council Local Government Area
- Northern Beaches Council Local Government Area
These, and all areas of concern for community transmission in NSW are listed on the NSW Health website at Areas of concern for community transmission.
The locations of COVID-19 clinics are available.
NSW Health is alerting passengers who were close contacts of cases on flights to monitor for symptoms, and contact their GP, (call ahead before visiting), or call healthdirect on 1800
