Member for Monaro John Barilaro has advised (11am August 19th 2021) that: "NSW Health has just informed me of two positive COVID-19 cases in Queanbeyan.

It is understood the two people work in the ACT but live in Queanbeyan.

Contact tracing is underway and there are no public exposure sites in our region at

this stage.

There are a number of testing clinics operating in Queanbeyan and across the

Monaro.

If you have even the mildest of symptoms, please get tested. For testing clinic

locations and operating hours visit:https://www.snswlhd.health.nsw.gov.au

I will continue to update the community as more information comes to hand."

Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) report that they have been notified of two positive COVID-19 cases in the Queanbeyan area. Contact tracing is underway. These cases will be reported in tomorrow’s numbers.

SNSWLHD now has three cases of COVID-19. All three cases were exposed to COVID-19

while in the ACT.

Risk assessments are being finalised for two venues visited by a case during their infectious

period in Queanbeyan, with further information to follow.

SNSWLHD works in close partnership with ACT Public Health to ensure fast and effective

contact tracing and response is coordinated across the region.

The quick notification process between the two jurisdictions allowed a rapid response to be

completed as soon as the positive test result was received.

Additional testing capacity has been set up in Queanbeyan including mobile swabbing for

directly notified close contacts.

NOTE: Comments were TRIALED - in the end it failed as humans will be humans and it turned into a pile of merde; only contributed to by just a handful who did little to add to the conversation of the issue at hand. Anyone who would like to contribute an opinion are encouraged to send in a Letter to the Editor where it might be considered for publication
