Following the detection of remnants of COVID-19 in raw Bathurst wastewater last week, NSW Health has again called everyone who attended the Bathurst 1000 auto race and local residents with symptoms of COVID-19 to get tested
NSW Health said detection in sewage may have been the result of current or past infection

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Gladys Berejiklian says she is cautious about opening the border with Victoria quickly, although the southern state has two consecutive days without COVID-19 cases and the restrictions are relaxed from midnight
« We will tear down the border as soon as possible, but we have to wait and see the impact of the easing of restrictions in Melbourne and Victoria before deciding exactly when that will take place, » she said
« This is the real test it’s easy not to spread the virus when people have limited mobility, but once you relax the restrictions and people start moving and working again, » a- she told reporters in Port Macquarie
She remained scathing over Prime Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk’s decision to keep the Queensland border closed, saying NSW has demonstrated its ability to run a strong economy and keep the community safe
« I just wish we were doing away with games because it affects people’s lives especially when the border closure is totally unnecessary, » she said
