New South Wales has reported just one new case of coronavirus overnight.

The person is a close contact from a previous case related to Hornsby Hospital and is not considered a threat to the public.

When the person learned that he had come into contact with a known COVID-19 case, the person immediately fell into isolation.

New South Wales Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said Friday that the person went into self-imposed quarantine before developing symptoms or becoming contagious.

Despite the low number of diagnoses in New South Wales, Prime Minister Gladys Berejiklian is still concerned that the virus could circulate within the community.

Ms Berejiklian urged all residents of Southwest Sydney, especially with ‘the mildest symptoms’, to get tested immediately.

“Because we know the virus is circulating in those communities and we fear we want to reduce the number of unknown cases,” she said.

There are currently 111 active cases of coronavirus in New South Wales, including seven patients in intensive care and five on ventilators.

A further 32,580 tests were performed overnight – and only one was found positive.
