To help stop the spread of COVID-19:
  • If you are unwell, stay in, get tested and isolate.
  • Wash your hands regularly. Take hand sanitiser with you when you go out.
  • Keep your distance. Leave 1.5 metres between yourself and others.
  • Wear a mask in situations where you cannot physically distance.
A the full list of COVID-19 testing clinics​ is available,or people can visit their GP.
Isolation is mandatory for anyone identified as a close contact of a case. Anyone directed to undertake a 14-day self-isolation period must stay in isolation for the full time, even if they test negative. Early testing may not detect an infection, and release from self-isolation based on a negative test could allow an infectious person to infect others in the community. Most people who are infected and develop symptoms will do so within 14 days of exposure.
There are 110 COVID-19 cases being treated by NSW Health. Six people were in intensive care and five were ventilated as of 8pm last night. 85 per cent of cases are in non-acute, out of hospital care.
