The Daily Examiner, 30 March 2020, p. 1:
The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 infections in the Clarence Valley has jumped in the past few days, with NSW Health updating its official figures.
The Clarence was listed as having seven positive Covid-19 tests as of 8pm Saturday, a jump from the 1-4 infections that had been reported since NSW Health began breaking down figures into local government areas last week.
It came as the numbers across the Northern NSW health district showed a big increase, with the total of confirmed cases rising to 33 at 8pm Saturday, up from 25 a day earlier.
In our neighbouring councils, it is reported that both the Ballina and Lismore council areas each have 1-4 cases, Byron have five, Coffs Harbour 7, Tweeds Head 12, while Richmond Valley and Kyogle have no confirmed cases.
