The suburbs with the fastest growing number of Covid-19 cases in NSW have been revealed, and are all situated in Sydney’s west.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Thursday listed the suburbs, saying they were of “most concern” to authorities that are scrambling to contain the state’s recent outbreak.
She said Merrylands, Guildford, Auburn, Granville, Lidcombe, Greenacre and Blacktown were the suburbs that had the fastest growing number of infections of the Delta variant that is wreaking havoc across NSW.
“It doesn't mean (cases) are not in other areas, but these (suburbs) are the main ones,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“We ask people in these communities to stay at home but also assume that the second you leave your home, you have the virus or anybody you come into contact with has it.”
The Premier said authorities also remained concerned with the cases that continued to appear in the state’s west, particularly in Wilcannia and Dubbo.
The heat map on NSW Health shows suburbs across the Cumberland and Canterbury-Bankstown local government areas each have more than 1000 active cases.
According to the data, Blacktown has the highest number of cases with 311 related to the outbreak and 242 still active.
In Guildford there have been 294 infections with 256 active, and another 275 cases in Merrylands, with 237 active.
In Greenacre, 185 cases remain active from 211 infections.
Auburn also has the same number of infections but 162 active cases.
A total of 181 cases were recorded in Granville with 158 still active.
There have also been 89 cases in Lidcombe with 69 still active.
The state’s daily coronavirus infections have continued on an upward trajectory since the lockdown restrictions were introduced on June 26.
NSW recorded 681 new locally acquired cases on Thursday, with only 170 linked to a known case or cluster, while the source of infection is still under investigation for 511.
