Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) has been notified of two new COVID-19 cases, both in Queanbeyan.
The two new cases will be reported in tomorrow’s numbers, as the notifications came in after 8.00pm last night. There were no cases reported in the District in the 24 hours to 8.00pm last night.
No venues of concern have been identified in relation to the two latest cases at this stage.
SNSWLHD is urging the Eden community to get tested with even the mildest of COVID-19 symptoms following the detection of fragments of the virus in the local sewage systems in the last 48 hours.
There are no confirmed COVID-19 cases in Eden. SNSWLHD is concerned that the presence of these fragments could signal undetected cases in the community.
Any venues of concern that are identified through contact tracing will be announced as soon as they are known. Venues of concern are kept updated on the SNSWLHD website: https://www.snswlhd.health.nsw.gov.au/our-services/infectious-disease/covid-19-venues-of-concern
Everyone in the District should be alert for any symptoms that could signal COVID‑19 including headache, nausea, sore throat, runny nose, cough, loss of smell or taste, or fever. If symptoms appear, people must isolate and get tested immediately, and remain isolated until a negative result is received.
There are more than 500 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW. A full list of SNSWLHD’s clinic sites and hours is available on our website: https://www.snswlhd.health.nsw.gov.au/our-services/infectious-disease/covid-19
