NSW recorded no new locally acquired cases of #COVID19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.

One new case was acquired overseas, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,931.

Today is the 21st day in a row with no reported locally acquired cases in NSW, but we need to continue to have high testing numbers to give us the best chance of finding any new cases and preventing new chains of transmission from becoming established.

As an additional precautionary measure, NSW Health has introduced day 16 COVID-19 tests for overseas travellers who have been released from hotel quarantine. This is in addition to the current testing on days 2 and 12 for all returned travellers while in hotel quarantine.

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.

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.

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.
