Fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 have been detected in sewage in the Hunter-New England area days after thousands of appointments were cancelled at a mass vaccination hub and doses redirected to south-west Sydney.
Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said she was “very concerned” by detections at three sewage plants servicing 400,000 people across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and southern Port Stephens. There have been no recent local cases in these areas.
Appointments at the mass vaccination centre at Belmont, in the Hunter region, have been postponed to drive more vaccine supply to Sydney.
NSW recorded 233 new local cases on Wednesday, the bulk in Sydney’s south-west, west and central health districts.
