As of 8pm on Tuesday, 26 October 2021 there have been 122 confirmed cases of locally acquired COVID-19 infection in the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) since on or about 13 September 2021 when the SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant first entered north-east New South Wales from the Greater Sydney area.
Community transmission has spread the virus into all seven local government areas - Tweed Shire, Byron Bay, Ballina, Kyogle, Lismore City, Richmond Valley and Clarence Valley.
As yet the infection numbers are relatively low.
The confirmed cases location breakdown between 13 September & 26 October 2021 appears to be:
Tweed Shire - 6 cases + 1 infection contracted elsewhere in NSW
Byron Bay - 7 cases
Ballina - 11 cases
Kyogle - 16 cases
Richmond Valley - 20 cases
Lismore City - 25 cases
Clarence Valley - 36 cases.
Those numbers are roughly equivalent to 3 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases a day in the local health district over 43 days and, as yet community transmission has not ceased.
As for NSW Health announcements of public venues of concern/exposure sites or information on hospitalization/treatment in the community - this tends to be infrequent.
