NSW has recorded no new coronavirus cases for the first time in three months, as health authorities issue a warning for people to remain vigilant during the school holidays.<\/p>\n
NSW Health’s Dr Christine Selvey said the last time the state recorded no new cases in a reporting period was on June 10.<\/p>\n
The total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW remains at 4,029.<\/p>\n
There are 68 people currently being treated by NSW Health, with three in intensive care.<\/p>\n
There were 12,333 COVID-19 tests taken in the reporting period, compared to 12, 258 the previous day.<\/p>\n
Dr Selvey urged people to continue to come forward for testing if they experienced symptoms like a runny nose, scratchy throat, cough or fever.<\/p>\n
“This is particularly important for the start of the school holidays and increased movement of people around the state,” she said.<\/p>\n
The latest figures come as NSW recorded zero cases of local transmission four times last week.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a man will appear in court today, charged after allegedly attempting to travel across the NSW-Victoria border in a taxi.<\/p>\n
Police at a checkpoint on the Hume Highway in Albury stopped a Victorian taxi around 4:30pm yesterday.<\/p>\n
Police said the 26-year-old passenger told them he wanted to go shopping in Albury.<\/p>\n
However police allege the permit he produced was invalid.<\/p>\n
