12.01.2022 No cases of locally acquired COVID-19 were diagnosed in NSW in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Four cases were reported in overseas travellers in hotel quaranti...ne, bringing the total number of cases in NSW to 4,297 since the start of the pandemic. There were 17,184 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with 18,941 in the previous 24 hours. NSW Health thanks the community for its support, as every person who comes forward for testing is playing an important role in helping to contain the spread of COVID-19. NSW Health is treating 70 COVID-19 cases, none of whom are in intensive care. Most cases 94 per cent are being treated by NSW Health in non-acute, out-of-hospital care. Recent arrivals from New Zealand were last night alerted to venues of concern in Auckland following a locally acquired case of COVID-19 there. These 455 passengers who have arrived in Sydney since Thursday 5 November have been sent a message with NSW Health advice and are also being called to be alerted to the venues of concern in Auckland, consistent with advice being provided in New Zealand. This advice was also provided to passengers arriving in Sydney from New Zealand on Friday evening’s flight. No passengers reported having attended the venues of concern and none had symptoms. Airlines will ascertain if passengers have attended these venues before they leave New Zealand and if they have, they will be not allowed to travel. All arrivals from New Zealand will be asked to monitor for even the mildest of symptoms and get tested and isolate if they feel unwell, then remain in isolation until a negative result is received, in line with routine advice for all people in NSW. The risk posed by quarantine-free travel from New Zealand remains low. NSW Health is again calling on people in the Rouse Hill area to get tested if they have even the mildest COVID-19 symptoms after the state’s sewage surveillance program detected further traces of the virus in the area. The catchment takes sewage from approximately 120,000 people. Fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 have been detected in samples taken on Wednesday 11 November from the sewerage system that drains parts of Quakers Hill, Castle Hill, Annangrove, Kellyville, Box Hill, Kenthurst, Glenhaven, The Ponds, Rouse Hill, North Kellyville, Kellyville Ridge, Beaumont Hills, Stanhope Gardens, Baulkham Hills, Glenwood, Bella Vista, Parklea, Acacia Gardens and Norwest. Everyone in these areas is urged to immediately get tested if they have any symptoms at all that could signal COVID-19. Symptoms such as a runny nose or scratchy throat, cough, tiredness, fever or other symptoms could be COVID-19. After testing, you must remain in isolation until a negative result is received. While detection of the virus in sewage samples could reflect the presence of older cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in these areas, NSW Health is concerned there could be other active cases in the local community in people who have not been tested and who might incorrectly assume their symptoms are simply a cold. There are more than 300 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW. To find your nearest clinic visit https://www.nsw.gov.au//how-to-protect-yourself-an/clinics or contact your GP. Most people receive their test results within 24 hours. To help stop the spread of COVID-19: If you are unwell, get tested and isolate right away don’t delay. 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 when using public transport, rideshares and taxis, and in shops, places of worship and other places where you can’t physically distance. When taking taxis or rideshares, commuters should also sit in the back.

09.01.2022 NSW recorded no new cases of locally acquired COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Four cases were reported in overseas travellers in hotel quarantine, ...bringing the total number of cases in NSW to 4,367 since the start of the pandemic. There were 14,758 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with 14,885 in the previous 24 hours. NSW Health is treating 75 COVID-19 cases, none of whom are in intensive care. Most cases, 97 per cent, are being treated by NSW Health in non-acute, out-of-hospital care. South Australia has added new exposure sites, and people who have visited them should monitor for symptoms and get tested. Anyone who has travelled from South Australia or New Zealand recently should check the latest advice on sites of concern on the SA Health and NZ Health websites. SA Health: https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au//contact+t/contact+tracing NZ Health: https://www.health.govt.nz//covid-19-contact-tracing-locat While everyone needs to take necessary precautions to avoid heat stress as temperatures are expected to climb in the next few days, NSW Health is also urging people to continue to practise COVID-19 safe behaviour during the heatwave. If you are able to cool your home through a combination of fans, air-conditioning and closed blinds, please do so and stay at home. This is so physical distancing in other indoor spaces where people may seek respite from the heat is not compromised. If you do leave your home to visit other indoor spaces, please physically distance and wear a mask in places where you cannot maintain 1.5 metres distance from others. Although NSW has had 20 days without a locally acquired case of COVID-19 and restrictions continue to be eased, now is not the time to be complacent. New infections have been identified in the past after a number of days without any cases because of transmission among people who had mild or no symptoms. Everyone is encouraged to continue to come forward for testing if they have any symptoms that could signal COVID-19, as this is the best way to detect and stop the spread of the virus. There are more than 300 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW. To find your nearest clinic visit https://www.nsw.gov.au//how-to-protect-yourself-an/clinics or contact your GP. To help stop the spread of COVID-19: If you are unwell, get tested and isolate right away don’t delay. Wash your hands regularly. Take hand sanitiser with you when you go out. Keep your distance.
