Sewage Detection
NSW Sewage Surveillance Program has detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID- 19 at the Bateau Bay and Toukley sewage treatment plants.
The Bateau Bay sewage sample was taken on Monday 23 August at a sewage treatment plant which serves an area of about 39,000 people in suburbs including Bateau Bay, Blue Bay, Killarney Vale, Long Jetty, Shelly Beach, The Entrance, The Entrance North and Toowoon Bay.
The Toukley sewage sample was taken on Monday 23 August at a sewage treatment plant which serves an area of about 29,000 people in suburbs including Budgewoi, Buff Point, Canton Beach, Halekulani, Magenta, Norah Head, Noraville, Toukley, Tuggerawong, Wyongah, Kanwal, Gorokan and Lake Haven.
These detections are particularly concerning as there are no longer any known cases in these areas.
Anyone who lives or works in any of these areas is asked to be particularly vigilant for the onset of symptoms that could signal COVID-19. Even if the mildest of symptoms appear, please get tested immediately and isolate until a negative result is received.
