ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health continues to appeal to the community to come forward for testing right away if anyone has even the mildest of symptoms like a runny nose or scratchy throat, cough, fever or other symptoms that could be COVID-19. This is particularly important in south western Sydney, western Sydney and south eastern Sydney, where there have been locally transmitted cases recently.

COVID-19 is still likely circulating in the community and we must all be vigilant. To help stop the spread of COVID-19: 

• If you are unwell, get tested and isolate right away – don’t delay.
• Wash your hands regularly. Take hand sanitiser with you when you go out.
• Keep your distance. Leave 1.5 metres between yourself and others. 
• Wear a mask when using public transport, rideshares and taxis, and in shops, places of worship and other places where you can’t physically distance. When taking taxis or rideshares, commuters should also sit in the back.
