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.

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

Two new cases of COVID-19 were reported for NNSWLHD to 8pm 14 November.

One case is in the Lismore Local Government Area (LGA) and one is in the Kyogle LGA, both are linked to existing cases.  There have now been 175 total cases in NNSWLHD since 16 June.

We encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as they are able to.

Find available bookings at the Australian Government’s COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Finder.

The community is being reminded that as of today, Monday 15 November, NSW Health will no longer routinely list case locations for regional and rural NSW on the NSW Health website. This change does not affect NSW Health’s contact tracing work.

NSW Health will continue to contact people diagnosed with COVID-19 and their close contacts, and all people who need to follow specific health advice. If you receive a message from NSW Health, it is important that you follow the advice in that message.

People who have been to a venue around the same time as a person with COVID-19 will continue to receive a case location alert from Service NSW.

NSW Health will also continue to support workplaces and other locations with a potential COVID-19 outbreak.

Northern NSW Local Health District will continue to notify the public of venues of concern where there have been high levels of transmission and there is a need to alert members of the community who may have been there during the exposure period.

There are 500 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest clinic visit the NSW Government website or contact your GP.
