NSW has recorded no recent cases of locally transmitted COVID-19 for the 11th day in a row, but health authorities remain concerned about local spread with low testing numbers and traces of the virus appearing in sewage.
Low testing numbers and sewage detection could also affect Queensland's decision on the border, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.Credit:NSW recorded 11 new cases to 8pm on Monday, all in overseas travellers in hotel quarantine. It brings the total number of cases in NSW to 4057. On Tuesday morning, Ms Palaszczuk said NSW would have to record widespread community transmission before the border was again slammed shut.Queensland will reopen its border with NSW on November 1, provided the state goes 28 days without recording an instance of community transmission."If we started to see what happened in Victoria initially, that would be, of course, concerning," Ms Palaszczuk said.
Ms Palaszczuk said Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young takes into account the testing rates, sewage testing and rates of community transmission when making a decision on borders. Testing numbers in NSW remain well below 10,000. The state reported 5385 tests reported in the latest reporting period, and 4789 the previous day, NSW Health spokeswoman Christine Selvey said."We are appealing to the community to come forward for testing right away if you have even the mildest of symptoms like a runny nose, scratchy throat, cough, fever or any other symptoms that could be COVID-19.
