Six of the confirmed cases are in the Batemans Bay postcode area, one in the Moruya area and two in the Narooma area.
A total of 51 cases of COVID-19 has been confirmed within the Southern NSW Local Health District.
A spokesperson said cases were identified within the district following 2091 tests, as of 10.30am on Friday, April 3.
"None of these confirmed cases have required hospitalisation and are self-isolating accordingly," the spokesperson said.
Southern NSW Local Health District Public Health Unit is in contact with each confirmed case and their close contacts, advising them to self-isolate for 14 days from when they were last with the confirmed case. They have also been advised to seek medical attention should they experience symptoms.
Identifying close contacts ensures that those people who may be at risk take the necessary steps to avoid any further transmission.
It is essential that everyone plays a part in containing the spread of COVID-19 by practising good hygiene measures including:
- Clean your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or a flexed elbow.
- Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.
- Stay at home, only leave if it is absolutely essential.
COVID-19 Assessment Centres have been established throughout the district. Those with symptoms may be tested and treated quickly.
Any one heading to an assessment centre must call 1800 999 880 (option 1) before attending.
You will only be tested if you fit the COVID-19 testing criteria. This testing can take up to two days to complete and report back.
