This will allow us to work through the details, through the data, as we have heard from Dr Chant, especially for sewage surveillance, to make sure that we stay ahead of the curve. We know, and we have seen already with what we did in Orange, a sharp and hard lockdown early has meant that we have seen freedom come back to regional New South Wales even sooner.
Western New South Wales continues to be of concern, especially Dubbo and Walgett. 21 cases overnight and nine still in the community, and that is of concern.
In Hunter New England we are seeing stabilisation, but still nine cases … we are focused on Maitland. The Central Coast, two cases, one in the community, so again, of concern. Exposure sites that we are concerned about through sewage surveillance, Wilcannia, Bourke, Parkes, Mudgee and Lennox Head, they remain a concern, because through surveillance previously we have been able to identify those cases.
