On daily 11am virus update WHY don’t they advise the affected suburbs on central coast so we are all made aware of what areas to avoid if possible..all they say is “central coast “ which is a big area..we need to be advised per that notification which suburbs
Great point Gwen. I agree as it also takes away any unwarranted concerns.
Yes I agree
Yes I agree. We need to know to avoid these shopping areas, etc so as to stay safe.
Yes should be notified of areas involved instead of just saying Central Coast.
We have many suburbs up here.I don’t see what the problem is in letting us know.
We agree, though the authorities only release the data in Local Health District level. It is later more specific and can be found here: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/nsw-covid-19-case-locations
Hmm, I think you’re missing the point. Once the case has been at the exposure site on that date and time, it’s too late to “avoid” it. It’s more to advise that if you were there, then you need to be alert for symptoms/isolate.
