Mr Barilaro said the upper part of the local government area would remain under stay home orders until Sunday as planned. I know you ve been doing it tough: you ve been locked down for a period of time, but that was off the back of a significant seeding event, and the transmission of COVID in that area, he said. We make these decisions to protect everyone, you, your family, the state and the nation.
Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said all close contacts of the 18-year-old road-tripping through regional NSW had tested negative.

Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant urged residents of Greater Sydney to continue presenting for testing, adding it’s “critical” for testing rates to remain high over a sustained period because there are concerns of unrecognised chains of transmission.
It comes as NSW recorded four new locally acquired COVID cases amid 32,667 tests overnight.
Ms Chant praised the number of tests as “pleasing” but asked people to continue to come forward.
“We do need that over a sustained period of time, because we are concerned that there are unrecognised chains of transmission, particularly in Berala and the surrounding suburbs, including Wentworthville,” she said.
Of the four new locally acquired cases to 8pm last night:
One is linked to the Berala cluster, and is the young man from western Sydney reported yesterday who travelled to western NSW. There are now 16 cases in the Berala cluster.
One, a man in his 20s, is a household contact of a case linked to the Avalon cluster. This brings the total number of cases for the Avalon cluster to 149.
One, from western Sydney, is a household contact of a previously reported case whose source remains under investigation but is likely to be linked to the Berala cluster.
One, a man in his 30s from western Sydney, is under investigation.
