NSW Health continues to urge people across the state to come forward for testing with the mildest symptoms. High testing rates are necessary to give confidence that no cases are going undetected in the community. Everyone who gets tested is playing an important role in helping to contain the spread of COVID-19.
NSW Health’s sewage surveillance program has recently detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 at sewage treatment plants in Camellia and Auburn, which take in a catchment of almost 180,000 people from Lidcombe, Rookwood, Strathfield, Homebush West, Chullora, Rydalmere, Camellia, Rosehill, Silverwater, Clyde, Newington, Sydney Olympic Park, Bankstown, Yagoona, Bass Hill, Sefton, Birrong, Potts Hill, Condell Park, Chester Hill, Old Guildford, Berala, Guildford, South Granville, Auburn, Regents Park, Merrylands, Parramatta, Holroyd, Granville, Harris Park, Merrylands West, and Guildford West.
