Please get tested even if you have had a test in recent days. If your exposure at this venue was in the past four days, you must get another test on day five from the date of exposure. Wear a mask around others and limit your movements until you get another negative result. You should continue to monitor for symptoms and if any symptoms appear, get tested and isolate again.

Please continue to check this page regularly, as the list of venues of concern and relevant health advice are being updated as new cases emerge and investigations continue.

Anyone with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms is urged to immediately come forward for testing and isolate until a negative result is received.

Anyone in Blacktown or Mount Druitt, please stay home this weekend and get tested if you have even the mildest of COVID symptoms. We have a new testing clinic at Blacktown Leisure Centre, Stanhope to test as many people as possible.

Over the last seven days, there have been over 173,000 COVID-19 tests in western Sydney! To every member of the community who has gotten tested – thank you. To the health heroes on the frontline working at these clinics- you’re doing an incredible job.
