NSW has reached a new record of daily COVID-19 infections as the Riverina – and large parts of regional NSW – have their stay-at-home orders lifted today and communities leave lockdown.
There has also been detection of COVID in the sewage of Young and Harden.
“We’ve not identified recent cases in these locations so again, urging anyone in these locations to be particularly aware of COVID symptoms and come forward for testing at the slightest of symptoms,” deputy chief health officer Jeremy McAnulty said.
Across the state to 8pm last night, eight people died with COVID-19, including six men and two women. Three people were in their 80s, two in their 70s, one in their 50s, one in their 40s and one in their 30s.
None of these people were vaccinated, Mr Hazzard said, and all had underlying health conditions.
