COVID-19 Data Update 11 June 2020 MURRUMBIDGEE LOCAL HEALTH DISTRICT COVID-19 Data Update As of 8.00 am on Thursday 11 June 2020 This week marks the 7th consecutive week of no new confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD). Over 12,251 people have been tested for COVID-19 with the number of positive cases remaining at 45. The Murrumbidgee Mobile Testing Clinic continues to travel across the region to provide an opportunity for people to be tested locally. “The mobile clinic was established initially to be deployed to any COVID-19 hotspots,” explained MLHD”s Covid-19 Coordinator Emma Field, “We have received a great level of support as it traverses the region and increases public awareness about the importance of testing.” In addition to the mobile clinics, people are reminded that many towns have access to COVID-19 testing through their local General Practitioner (GP) and local clinics. GP-Led Respiratory Clinics have also been established in Gundagai, Young, Griffith, Wagga Wagga and Deniliquin. “Especially now that businesses are reopening and people are on the move, continued testing is critical to help minimise the risk of community to community transmission and to stop the spread,” added Ms Field. Anyone who feels unwell is invited to call the Murrumbidgee COVID hotline on 1800 831 099 to book a test. MOBILE TESTING CLINIC The Murrumbidgee Mobile Testing Clinic is in Gundagai and Moama today and will visit Temora and Ariah Park tomorrow.
