Elders and health leaders say the NSW government has failed to adequately consult and coordinate with Indigenous medical services to help protect communities in the state's west as COVID-19 spreads through the region - via NITV.

There are nearly a thousand cases of COVID-19 in western NSW with authorities particularly concerned about the northwestern town of Walgett.

"We're concerned people who have been in Walgett or live in nearby communities, where there might have been a contact travelling to and from Walgett, to be particularly vigilant and come forward for testing," Dr McNulty said on Monday.Aboriginal Health Professionals are moving to boost low vaccination rates among inner-Sydney communities while residents are being urged to work together to contain the virus’ spread.

"What I would like to see is that an urgent meeting be called between the chief health officer and the minister of health with our Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services to discuss these critical issues at this point in time," Dr Malouf told the hearing.

NSW records 1,257 new local COVID-19 cases and seven more deathsBREAKING NSW recorded 1,257 new local COVID-19 cases and seven deaths, as Gladys Berejiklian flagged a ‘slight’ slowing in vaccinations. Let it Rip Gladys is not the right policy setting resigngladys Australia 'Slight Slowing' Still fastest in the nation - but the 7 Day Average has been dropping for 6 days now. By default, people don't want vaccination. They are only taking it to 'get done with it' and because there are threats about not allowed on work sites etc. If you drop these threats, people will choose vaccines based on their health; not coercion.
