MLHD says Riverina exposure sites remind everyone to be vigilant

Murrumbidgee Local Health District public health director Tracey Oakman on Monday announced further sites in Harden in addition to the Henty and Coolac incidents revealed on Sunday.

"That's another timely reminder that there are COVID cases driving through our region and we do need to be very vigilant," she said.

"If anyone has any symptoms at all who were in those towns, or any other town, please make sure you get tested."

Ms Oakman said the region's most recent sewage testing results had not detected any virus fragments and confirmed the briefness of the Henty exposure.

People at the Olympic Highway Shell service station between 4.45pm and 4.50pm on August 26 are asked to get tested.

The director said Murrumbidgee health facilities were prepared to deal with coronavirus cases and patients well enough to stay home would be monitored.

"We do have good systems set up for people should they become positive in our region," she said.

"I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the district will maintain zero COVID cases, but I'm sure it will come."

The health district is working with Albury Wodonga Health as it supports a Wodonga truck driver who tested positive to COVID-19.
