NSW records 1083 cases, Dubbo woman among 13 COVID-19 deaths - The Daily Advertiser

No further cases of COVID-19 have been found in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District [MLHD] as the state records more than 1000 new locally-acquired cases.

Some restrictions will ease in areas of concern, Ms Berejiklian announced, and public pools across the state will reopen in COVID-safe conditions on September 27.

"We are seeing the reproductive rate go below one, which means cases are showing, some areas are showing decline, but other areas are still growing.".

The Riverina is on alert after a string of cases emerged in the region this week, including four revealed in state figures on Saturday, and pings in sewage surveillance in local areas with no known cases.

The MLHD has implemented additional testing across the district for Sunday, in Young, Harden, Boorowa, Cootamundra, Deniliquin and Griffith.

Testing is also available in Riverside Drive in Deniliquin until 1pm, and in Griffith at the MLHD testing clinic in Yambil Street until 3pm.

Restrictions will ease in local government areas of concern from 12.01am Monday, which will bring restrictions almost entirely into line with other locked down areas.

"In the areas of concern, all the rules will be the same to the rest of Sydney, except for authorised workers and permits," Ms Berejiklian said on Sunday
