As of Saturday morning, the total number of identified COVID-19 positive patients in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District remained at 45.

The total number of people tested increased from 3967 on Friday to 4157 on Saturday.

Albury's local government area has seen five people recover from coronavirus, leaving three active cases.

The total number of people who recovered across the health district has been lowered from 40 to 39 due to a statistical error on Friday.

"Please note there was a glitch in our system yesterday and the death had been reported in the 'recovery' data. Please accept our apologies," a Murrumbidgee Local Health District statement said.

The health district has recorded one fatality from coronavirus during the pandemic, 74-year-old Corowa woman Beryl Bourke, who died in Albury early last month after returning from a trip to New Zealand.

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever and dry cough. Some people also experience sore throat, shortness of breath, or runny or stuffy nose.

Anyone who believes they may have the virus should call the Murrumbidgee COVID-19 Hotline on 1800 831 099 for a confidential over the phone assessment. The hotline is open every day between 7am and 9pm.
