Locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the past four weeks
Cases in these statistics refer to cases identified via PCR tests only.
As of 10 February 2023, NSW Health report only positive SARS-CoV-2 test results. Changes to the COVID-19 public health orders for COVID-19 means it is no longer necessary for laboratories to provide data on negative PCR test results, in line with other diseases. Positive COVID-19 results, through both PCR tests and notified rapid antigen test results, will continue to be reported.
NSW Health uses a wide range of surveillance systems, including hospital data, sewage surveillance, and genomic sequencing, to closely monitor COVID-19 and inform its public health response.
