Help slow the spread of COVID-19
We must all help slow the spread of the coronavirus, save lives and protect our health workers. The single most important thing we can do is stay home and limit contact with others.
Anyone can catch and spread it without knowing, putting everyone at risk, particularly those with weakened immunity systems, ongoing medical conditions and people over 60. By staying at home, you can help us slow the spread and together we will save lives.

COVID-19 in NSW by postcode
This map shows confirmed COVID-19 cases only based on location of usual residence, not necessarily where the virus was contracted. Cases without a NSW residential address are not shown. The case definition of a confirmed case is a person who tests positive to a validated specific SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test or has the virus identified by electron microscopy or viral culture, at a reference laboratory. Case counts reported for a particular notification date may vary over time due to ongoing investigations and case review. Active cases is a calculation based on the presumption of cases being active for 14 days from notification date, regardless of the date of onset of symptoms. This, and some other necessary assumptions for this calculation mean that the calculations must be interpreted with caution. The map also shows number of people tested for COVID-19 by location of residence reported at the time of the test. A surge in total number of people tested on a particular day may occur as the test results are updated in batches and new laboratories gain testing capacity. Data reported at 8pm daily.
