NSW has recorded one new COVID-19 case on Friday among more than 32,500 people tested in the latest 24-hour reporting period. It’s also the first day since August 7 that NSW Health has detected no 'mystery' cases | kaubo

The individual was isolating before they became infectious once their close contact had tested positive, NSW Health said.

"While case numbers have remained low this week, the virus continues to circulate in the community and vigilance must be maintained," Dr Chant said."It is vital that high rates of testing continue in order to find the source of the cases still under investigation and to identify and stop further spread of the virus," she said.

Anyone with even the mildest of symptoms – including runny nose, sore throat, cough, or loss of taste and smell – should come forward for testing, Dr Chant said. NSW Health is treating 111 COVID-19 cases, including seven patients in intensive care, of whom six are ventilated. Roughly 85 per cent of cases being treated by NSW Health are in non-acute, out-of-hospital care.

NSW Health has published a list of COVID hotspots and all locations associated with known cases, as well as advice on testing and isolation here.Get our Coronavirus Update newsletter for the day's crucial developments and the numbers you need to know. Sign up to

Covid19NSW Kaubo Thing I find confusing is that we’ve been battling, but managing community cases for more than a month. Yet only in the last two days do they come out with further restrictions to school events and community sports.

Kaubo Great news!

Kaubo Maybe just maybe they could allow some school sport?

Kaubo Good result. Someone should tell Donald Trump that more testing does not necessarily result in more cases.

Kaubo

Kaubo Dies anyone believe the NSW figures ?

Kaubo Mystery....is how you guys are still allowed to delivery fake news

Kaubo Good work NSW, now keep borders closed and go for elimination. Is that our aim?

Kaubo Catastrophic numbers, lock it all down, until at least xmas!

Kaubo Professor Clementi reveals how coronavirus today is a hundred times weaker than March. Massimo Clementi is a full Professor of Microbiology and Virology, University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy. It's an absolutely macroscopic difference.

Kaubo What I also find impressive about NSW Health, is their ability to determine the source of cases within the 24 hour period.

Kaubo Yay!!! We can end the government imposed lockdown now!!! This weekend is going to rock!!! Party time!!!

Kaubo REEEEE ... ONE CASE IS TOO MANY ... PANIC NOW.

NSW MP warns of teen suicides linked to COVID-19 isolation | Sky News AustraliaA NSW MP has revealed there have been multiple teenage suicides in his electorate as he warns of the mental health consequences of COVID-19.\n\nKu-ring-gai MP Alister Henskens told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell he was aware of three suicides by teenagers in the last month alone as well as numerous self-harm attempts.\n\n“Mr Henskens has spoken out because he believes that while a lot of the health response is focussed on the pandemic, not enough is being done on mental health,” Mr Clennell said.\n\n“Year 12s have had to complete part of their year at home, in NSW they have had their formals cancelled, music lessons cancelled and they are facing unemployment and, perhaps more distressingly, no certainty as to when COVID-19 will be over. \n\n“More family tension present as well with tough economic conditions and parents required to work from home.”\n\nIf you or anyone you know is feeling distressed or needs support you can call Lifeline on 13-11-14 or visit their website lifeline.org.au\u002Fget help\n\nImage: Getty aclennell AlisterHenskens This is so very sad.

Maps show how one COVID-19 cluster could bring NSW undoneWith more than 300 COVID-19 cases in NSW traced back to a handful of clusters around Sydney, four of the biggest outbreaks show just how quickly the virus can take hold if left unchecked. No this shows that NSW has been able to contain multiple super-spreader events in the space of a month. Is this Fox News?

'A good sign': Victoria records 216 new COVID-19 casesBREAKING: Victoria's Chief Health Officer has described the state's latest tally of new cases of coronavirus as 'a good sign' and said the numbers are the result of mandatory mask-wearing and stage three and four restrictions. 'government actions such as border closures, full lockdowns, and a high rate of COVID-19 testing were not associated with statistically significant reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality.' The Lancet, July 21 Alledgedly. Science guy that should know better--based on formal training in his field--pulls imaginary statements out of his backside.
