18.01.2022 NSW recorded three new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Three cases were also recorded in returned travellers, bringing the... total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,818. There were 23,763 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 25,646. NSW Health continues to urge everyone throughout the state to continue to come forward for testing, with even the mildest of symptoms. High testing rates are vital to finding undetected cases and helping to contain the spread of COVID-19. Of the three locally acquired cases to 8pm last night: One is linked to the Avalon cluster, and is a close contact of a previously reported case. There are now 150 cases associated with the Avalon cluster. Two are linked to the Berala cluster, and are close contacts of a previously reported case. There are now 23 cases associated with the Berala cluster. NSW Health last night announced several new venues in Sydney’s south-west and north-east that are associated with today’s new locally acquired cases. An extensive list of bus and train routes used by confirmed cases in Sydney’s south-west and Inner West, were also announced. Please check the NSW Government website: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates and follow the health advice if you were at any of these locations at the times listed. Stay-at-home restrictions on residents of the northern zone of the Northern Beaches have now ended. NSW Health thanks the community for their cooperation. We ask people to continue to observe the restrictions in place for Greater Sydney and urge everyone to come forward for testing if even the mildest of symptoms that could signal COVID-19 develop. There are more than 350 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest clinic visit https://www.nsw.gov.au//how-to-protect-yourself-an/clinics or contact your GP. NSW Health is treating 109 COVID-19 cases, none of whom are in intensive care. Most cases (99 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.

16.01.2022 Central Coast residents are being asked to continue getting tested if they have even the mildest COVID-19 symptoms, after the state’s sewage surveillance progra...m detected traces of the virus at a treatment plant in Kincumber serving the Gosford area on Monday 21 December. The sewerage system includes the suburbs of Niagara Park, Narara, Lisarow, Wyoming, West Gosford, North Gosford, Somersby, Kariong, Point Clare, Tascott, Koolewong, Springfield, Erina, Terrigal, Wamberal, Forresters Beach, North Avoca, Avoca Beach, Copacabana, Macmasters Beach, Bouddi, Green Point, Yattalunga, Kincumber, Kincumber South, Bensville, Saratoga, Davistown, Empire Bay, St Huberts Island, Daleys Point, Killcare, Killcare Heights, Hardys Bay, Pretty Beach and Wagstaffe, in which around 140,000 people reside. NSW Health is aware of a COVID-19 positive case on the Central Coast, as well as a case from western Sydney who visited Avoca while infectious last weekend. NSW Health continues to call on people in Sydney’s Upper North Shore to get tested if they have even the mildest COVID-19 symptoms, after traces of the virus were detected at a Hornsby Heights treatment plant on 19 December. Two recent COVID-19 cases in the area are linked to the Avalon cluster. 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 just a cold. People in these areas must monitor for any COVID-19 symptoms and immediately get tested should even the mildest of symptoms appear. Symptoms of COVID-19 include runny nose, sore/scratchy throat, cough, shortness of breath, fever, loss of taste or loss of smell. After testing, you must self-isolate until a negative result is received.

11.01.2022 Help keep our Community safe by following these simple steps

11.01.2022 NSW recorded zero new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. There were also eight cases recorded in returned travellers, bringi...ng the total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,885. There were 8,773 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 12,764. The drop in daily testing numbers is an increasing concern, and NSW Health renews its calls for people to get tested if they are experiencing even the mildest of symptoms. All eight new cases reported to 8pm last night were acquired overseas. Whole genome sequencing suggests the seven cases reported over the weekend are linked to the Berala cluster. Investigations and contact tracing are underway to establish the route of acquisition. While an epidemiological link has not yet been made, there is the possibility that others in the community may have the virus. High testing rates are critical to our efforts to identify COVID-19 cases and to prevent it from spreading. This is particularly important in areas where recent cases have attended, including Auburn, Berala, and surrounding suburbs, as well as across western and south-west Sydney. Communities in these areas are asked to be vigilant, with anyone experiencing any cold- or flu-like symptoms, no matter how mild, to isolate immediately, get tested and continue to isolate until a negative result is received. The best thing we can do for our friends and family is to get tested; by doing so, we are helping to keep them all safe. People are urged to check the NSW Government website: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates for regularly updated details of venues of concern, and affected public transport routes, and are asked to follow the health advice provided. There are more than 350 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest clinic visit https://www.nsw.gov.au//how-to-protect-yourself-an/clinics or contact your GP. NSW Health is treating 97 COVID-19 cases, one of whom is in intensive care. Most cases (98 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.

10.01.2022 NSW recorded one new locally acquired case of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Six cases were also recorded in returned travellers, bringing the tota...l number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,852. There were 20,664 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 14,738. Of the seven new cases reported to 8pm last night: - One locally acquired case is linked to the Berala cluster and is a close contact of previously reported cases. There are now 28 cases associated with the Berala cluster. - Six are returned travellers. Genomic testing on the case diagnosed with COVID-19 after presenting to the Mount Druitt Emergency Department on Saturday shows that this case is linked to the Berala cluster. Investigations are continuing to establish how the infection could have been acquired. Contacts of these cases have been tested and are all negative to date. Further contact tracing and testing is underway. NSW Health would like to thank everyone who has come forward for testing, and continues to urges everyone in the state who has even mild cold- or flu-like symptoms such as a cough, sore throat, headache, fever, or a runny nose to isolate immediately and be tested. A new venue of concern visited by confirmed cases of COVID-19 was reported in a public health alert issued last night. Anyone who attended the following venue at the listed time is considered a casual contact and must immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result is received: - The Groomsmen Barber Shop, Warriewood Square, 12 Jacksons Rd, Warriewood, on Wednesday 6 January between 11.30am and 12pm NSW Health continues to provide new and updated information on venues that are associated locally acquired cases. Please check the NSW Government website and follow the health advice if you were at any of these locations at the times listed.

The state’s ongoing sewage surveillance program has detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 at the treatment plant in West Hornsby. This catchment takes in the suburbs of Glenorie, Wahroonga, Thornleigh, Pennant Hills, Cherrybrook, Castle Hill, Galston, Dural, Westleigh, Glenhaven, Waitara, Hornsby, Normanhurst, West Pennant Hills. Everyone in these areas is asked to be alert for symptoms, to get tested immediately if they appear and then isolate until they receive a negative result. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage may reflect the presence of known cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in recent weeks in the areas served by this sewage treatment plant. However, 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 just a cold. NSW Health is treating 131 COVID-19 cases, one of whom is in intensive care. This patient requires a ventilator. Most cases (98 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.

09.01.2022 NSW recorded nine locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, with an additional nine cases in returned travellers in hotel quarantine.... Seven of the locally acquired cases are linked to the Avalon cluster. Investigations continue into the source of the Avalon cluster, which now numbers 104. The source of the other two locally acquired cases remains under investigation. The total number of cases in NSW is now 4,634 since the beginning of the pandemic. There were a record 60,184 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 41,865. This is an outstanding effort from the community, and we strongly urge people to keep coming forward for testing. Testing clinics will remain open over the holidays, including Christmas Day. We also sincerely thank those who are now self-isolating. We appreciate it is difficult, especially at Christmas. However, if you are a close contact of a case, you must continue to self-isolate for 14 days since exposure, even if you receive a negative test result.

09.01.2022 NSW has reported five cases of locally transmitted COVID 19 through to 8pm last night. Five cases in overseas travellers in hotel quarantine were diagnosed in t...he 24 hours to 8pm last night, bringing the total number of cases in NSW to 4,082. There were 12,868 tests reported in the 24-hour reporting period, compared with 12,498 in the previous 24 hours. Of the 10 new cases to 8pm last night: Five are returned overseas travellers in hotel quarantine Five were locally acquired and linked to a known case or cluster Four of the new locally acquired cases reported today are associated with the private health clinic cluster. Three of these are household contacts of a case reported yesterday and the fourth is a co-worker of a case reported yesterday. There are now seven cases associated with this cluster. Investigations into its source are ongoing. One of today’s locally acquired cases is included in the total numbers for NSW, but all indications are that it is an old case most likely acquired when the virus was circulating at low levels in South Western Sydney around August. This case is associated with the Liverpool Hospital cluster. NSW Health is working with Monopole Restaurant, Potts Point to assess the risk to patrons and staff who may have been exposed to COVID-19 when a person who was infectious visited there from 6 to 8pm on the evening of Sunday October 4. Contact tracing is underway, and NSW Health will contact close and casual contacts directly, but anyone who was at Monopole that evening should monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if they develop.

05.01.2022 NSW recorded five new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Eleven cases were also recorded in returned travellers, bringing the... total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,845. There were 14,738 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 18,570. NSW Health is concerned with the falling test numbers in recent days and urges anyone feeling with mild flu-like symptoms to get tested and then remain at home until a negative result is received. Of the five locally acquired cases to 8pm last night: One case is linked to the Berala cluster and is a close contact of a previously reported case.

04.01.2022 NSW recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. There were two cases recorded in returned travellers, bringing the to...tal 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. There are more than 350 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week.
