No matter where you live in NSW, if you have a cough, temperature or a sore throat, you should get tested for coronavirus.

NSW has widened its testing criteria to include anyone with symptoms as daily testing numbers continue to drop and cases of community transmission remain a concern for health officials.

More than one-third of the state’s 2886 confirmed cases are locally acquired, and more than 350 of those cases have not been linked to a known source. Testing has also dropped from a peak of 4500 tests last week to 1305 on Tuesday.

Earlier this week testing was ramped up in council areas deemed at risk of wider community outbreaks in an effort to tamp down on the local spread of coronavirus.
