Sewerage tests positive

THE covid virus was detected in the Scone sewerage network on Monday, December 6 and Monday, December 13 and there is currently one covid positive case in the Shire.

It is expected as the virus will broadly circulate throughout the New South Wales community, but thankfully the Scone area has more than a 95 percent vaccination rate, which means spread will be slowed.

There are still people in our community with significant underlying health issues who may be fully vaccinated, but are still at risk of serious complications from the virus, continuing to practice good infection control will help protect those members of our community.

If you have symptoms of covid, please go and be tested and follow the advice we have all come to know so well, including isolating until you receive a negative result.
