EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Ambulances are the safest way to be assessed, treated and transported to the right hospital for the care you need.

Triple zero (000) is a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For less severe but still urgent situations, go to an Emergency Department.

There are 12 public hospital Emergency Departments in Northern NSW Local Health District and they are all available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

COVID-19 Update: 18 November 2021
Published: 18 Nov 2021

Northern NSW Local Health District continues to urge people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and to seek testing if symptoms develop.

Seven new cases of COVID-19 were reported for NNSWLHD to 8pm 17 November.

Five of these cases are in the Kyogle Local Government Area (LGA), all household contacts of existing cases.

The other two cases are in the Byron LGA. Of these, one case acquired their infection interstate, and has not been infectious in the community in Northern NSW, and the other acquired their infection overseas and investigations are underway.

There have now been 184 cases in the District since 16 June.

Even if you are fully vaccinated you should get tested and isolate immediately if you have even the mildest of COVID-19 symptoms – such as a slightly runny nose, a scratchy or sore throat or generally feeling under the weather.
