Increased surveillance and testing for Covid-19

Parts of the City have been recently identified by NSW Health as areas for increased surveillance and testing for Covid-19.

Testing is particularly important in Sydney east (Sydney, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Woolloomooloo, Potts Point, Rushcutters Bay, Elizabeth Bay and Centennial Park).

NSW Health is requesting that if you live in or have visited these suburbs in the past two weeks you should monitor for symptoms. If even mild Covid-19 symptoms develop - like a runny nose, sore throat, cough, or loss of taste and smell - self-isolate and get tested.

You can still visit our local area, just maintain physical distancing, good hygiene and wear a mask where you cannot maintain a physical distance.

We are working closely with NSW Health to ensure the health and safety of our residents and visitors to our area.

Advice regarding mask use

The NSW Government is strongly encouraging greater use of masks in high-risk public settings to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. This includes:

the use of face masks in indoor settings where physical distancing is hard to maintain, such as on public transport or in supermarkets

the use of face masks (where practical) in indoor settings with a higher risk of transmission, such as for the staff of hospitality and customer-facing venues i.e. cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs

during attendance at places of worship

Wearing a mask in any of these settings is not mandatory but is highly recommended, especially in areas where there has been community transmission.
