With no new cases today and 107 tests done in the past 24 hours, Christmas Eve is on track to mark 150 days.
The second AWH clinic was operational by Saturday afternoon with support of Goulburn Valley Health but is now closed.
Albury Wodonga Health incident management team hospital commander Lucie Shanahan said on Monday there had been a spike in people getting tested.
"There are two other sites in Albury, once with Murrumbidgee Local Health District and one with DHM [Douglass Hanly Moir Pathology Pathology]," she said.
"We know that one of those clinics was operating either day on Saturday and Sunday, and we know that there have been more people tested at those sites."
Ms Shanahan strongly encouraged people to stay as local as possible until the NSW outbreak is fully contained.
"We understand this is a week leading into lots of family gatherings ... but if people can avoid travelling to the Greater Sydney area and the Central Coast area at all, that is our great preference," she said.
Christmas operation hours for Wodonga's Vermont Street operation hours are as follows:
- Wednesday 23 December: 8am - 4:30pm
- Thursday 24 December: 8am - 4:30pm
- Friday 25 December: CLOSED
- Saturday 26 December: 8:30am - 3pm
- Sunday 27 December: 8am - 4:30pm
- Monday 28 December: 8:30am - 3pm
