As the NSW Government leadership is changing, so too is how NSW Health reports Covid case numbers, venues of concern and definitions of close contacts.

Statewide and local reporting

In this morning’s NSW Health Covid update, Dr Marianne Gale reported there were 594 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. There were also ten deaths.

When it comes to our regional, local area, some Lismore App readers have asked us how NSW Health makes decisions regarding what information to report to the community – particularly with regard to the source of infections and where any venue of concern might be.

The official answer from our health authorities is that if you are considered a close contact and have visited a venue of concern, you will be contacted by NSW Health and asked to get tested and isolate.

While there has been no NSW Health media release today reporting the two new venues of concern, the Lismore App visited the NSW Health website to discover the details of the two local venues.

The details are listed as follows, along with a list of all other currently listed Lismore 2480 postcode venues.

At the moment, the take-home message is to check in with the NSW Health website for the latest details in order to keep yourself up to date with Covid cases.
