NSW chief health officer urges residents to get tested amid drop in testing rates
NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant urged Sydney residents to resist complacency and continue to present for testing. It comes after New South Wales recorded three new locally acquired cases of COVID, all linked to the Avalon cluster, out of 16,000 tests. “Many weeks ago I would have been happy with 16,329 tests in a 24-hour period, for me now I would love to see those numbers pushed up, well over 20,000 to 30,000," Ms Chant said. “By having those really high rates of testing, for those people who have got symptoms, that will give us a greater assurance that we are not missing those transmission events, particularly outside the Northern Beaches area.”
