From NSW Health #covid media update: NSW Health has recorded zero locally-acquired coronavirus cases in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
Two new cases were recorded outside of the reporting period and will be included in tomorrow's numbers.

There were 22,275 tests conducted overnight and Acting Premier @JohnBarilaroMP says the testing numbers are far too low including #Wollongong
'in Wollongong the numbers had increased and I do thank those people of Wollongong that came out to get tested ...

@JohnBarilaroMP ... but we have seen those numbers drop in the Wollongong area and so my today my call again is to come out and get tested'

@JohnBarilaroMP Dr Kerry Chant wants testing to exceed 30,000 'particularly urging residents of Western, South Western Sydney and #Wollongong'

@JohnBarilaroMP From Health Minister Brad Hazard 'to regional NSW resident the use of a mask is not compulsory indoors, but I would say to you as Health Minister is would be safer for you'

@JohnBarilaroMP Asked abt AMA calling for SCG test to not go ahead, Dr Chant says "I would be happy to brief the AMA around the Syd test & our thinking ..

@JohnBarilaroMP .. it's important to understand restrictions have gone back, with the exception of the mandatory mask wearing that were in place prior to our easing of restrictions'

@JohnBarilaroMP From @JohnBarilaroMP message on Syd test for regional NSW: 'I know for regional people the NY's test is an annual pilgrimage .. in normal times that would be fantastic but I would be saying to consider what is happening in Sydney with the infections and restrictions ..

@JohnBarilaroMP ...my advice to people would be think about it, reconsider maybe this year is not the year to come to the test.'
