NSW recorded six new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. All six new cases are close contacts of the western Sydney case reported yesterday. Image
There were also three cases recorded in returned travellers, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,877.

There were 12,764 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 14,574.
The drop in daily testing numbers remains a concern, and NSW Health renews its calls for people to get tested if they are experiencing even the mildest of symptoms.

NSW recorded 1 new locally acquired case of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.

There were also 11 cases recorded in returned travellers, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,868. Image
Of the 12 new cases reported to 8pm last night
• 1 case, in a man from western Sydney, was locally acquired. Investigations into the source of the infection are under way, but it is believed to be linked to the Berala BWS cluster.
• 11 were acquired overseas.
It is very likely that COVID-19 is continuing to circulate in the community among people who have mild or no symptoms.

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 total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,856. Image
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.
