The NSW Sewage Surveillance Program samples 22 sites throughout NSW on a weekly basis. These sites were selected for their population size, geographical spread, proximity to state borders and transport routes and for the presence of vulnerable communities. Now that COVID is widespread in the community, the focus of the program has changed from early warning to monitoring of trends to supplement information gathered through PCR and Rapid Antigen Testing.

This week includes data for the 7 days ending 4pm 22 September 2022. Last week includes data to the week ending 4pm 15 September 2022. Numbers of cases are based on date of notification to NSW Health. COVID-19 related deaths are notified to NSW Health from a range of sources and not all deaths reported by NSW Health occurred in the week in which they are reported, as there is sometimes a delay between a death occurring and it being notified to NSW Health.
