NSW Health urges local residents to be particularly vigilant for the onset of symptoms that could signal COVID-19, and if they appear, to immediately be tested and isolate until a negative result is received. We also encourage people with NO symptoms to be tempted as part of COVID-19 surveillance. Subject to conditions, people having a surveillance test may not be required to isolate until their results are received.

High vaccination rates are also essential to reduce the risk of transmission and protect the health and safety of the community.

Cowra residents can undertake COVID testing at the Cowra Showground - drive-through from 9am to 3pm today.
