Despite the high number of confirmed cases, SNSWLHD reports only two people are in hospital due to COVID-19, while 86 others are in a "virtual care program", being looked after in their own residence.

There are 1445 active cases in the district.

As of last week, SNSWLHD announced it would not be reporting specific locations of positive cases given the increasing numbers involved.

A SNSWLHD spokesperson said most LHDs stopped reporting case towns/suburbs months ago, once case numbers increased.

"We have been able to keep reporting towns until a few days ago because of our low case numbers. Now that we have so many cases it is not possible to do that - there are too many towns to mention individually," the spokesperson told ACM.

"Given the high case numbers across all LGAs, there is no public health imperative to mention each town - it is now widespread."
