16.01.2022 Latest information from NSW Health for 15 January 2021. This will be the last update from us for the time being. Our updates will resume if confirmed cases in Wollongong rise. We thank you for your support over the past 3 weeks. Please follow and like the Corrimal Chamber of Commerce Social Media pages for up to date information regarding our community. NSW recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. There were two cases recorded in r...eturned travellers, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,856. There were 16,070 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 20,437. While two days without any locally acquired cases is encouraging, it is likely that COVID-19 is continuing to circulate in the community among people who have mild or no symptoms. We must continue to do our utmost to detect every case of COVID-19, as this means the case can isolate appropriately, which prevents the virus being passed on to others. To detect cases in the community effectively, we need to see higher testing numbers. This is particularly important in Sydney’s west, south-west and northern beaches, as well as Wollongong, because of recent cases who have been in these areas.
