Another new Covid case has been reported in Lismore LGA, with health authorities now investigating the the source of infection.

The case was one of two reported in the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) in the period to 8pm yesterday.

The second case is in the Grafton area of Clarence Valley Local Government Area (LGA), and is a household contact of an existing case.

There have now been 155 total cases in NNSWLHD since June 16 and NNSWLHD chief executive Wayne Jones said he urges people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and to seek testing if symptoms develop.

“Even if you are fully vaccinated you should get tested and isolate immediately if you have even the mildest of COVID-19 symptoms – such as a slightly runny nose, a scratchy or sore throat or generally feeling under the weather,” he said.
