Health authorities have urged anyone with even the mildest of symptoms to get tested for COVID-19.
"Symptoms associated with COVID-19 include: fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore/scratchy throat, runny nose, tiredness and muscle aches," the Western NSW Local Health District said.
"Tests are free and you don't need a referral or appointment to attend.
"Staff will come to you in your car to collect information and swabs of your throat and nose.
"Those swabs are sent away for testing and results are normally available in 24 to 72 hours."
