From 20 October 2023, COVID-19 datasets will no longer be updated. Detailed information is available in the fortnightly NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/reports.aspx.

COVID-19 cases by notification date and postcode, local health district, and local government area. The dataset is updated weekly on Fridays.

The data is for confirmed COVID-19 cases only based on location of usual residence, not necessarily where the virus was contracted.

Case counts reported by NSW Health for a particular notification date may vary over time due to ongoing investigations and the outcome of cases under review thus this dataset and any historical data contained within is subject to change on a daily basis.

The underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. The dataset was then treated to mitigate these risks, including suppressing and aggregating data.

This dataset does not include cases with missing location information.

As of 10 February 2023, NSW Health will report only positive SARS-CoV-2 test results. Recent changes to the COVID-19 public health orders for COVID-19 means it is no longer necessary for laboratories to provide data on negative PCR test results, in line with other diseases. Positive COVID-19 results, through both PCR tests and notified rapid antigen test results, will continue to be reported. NSW Health uses a wide range of surveillance systems, including hospital data, sewage surveillance, and genomic sequencing, to closely monitor COVID-19 and inform its public health response.

COVID-19 tests by date and postcode, local health district, and local government area. The dataset is updated weekly on Fridays.

The data is for COVID-19 tests and is based on the Local Health District (LHD) and Local Government Area (LGA) of residence provided by the individual at time of testing. A surge in total number of people tested on a particular day may occur as the test results are updated in batches and new laboratories gain testing capacity.

The underlying dataset was assessed to measure the risk of identifying an individual and the level of sensitivity of the information gained if it was known that an individual was in the dataset. The dataset was then treated to mitigate these risks, including suppressing and aggregating data.

On 16 September 2021, NSW Health implemented a change in the way testing data is reported.

1. We will discontinue publication of unit record test data file as the data will only be provided as an aggregated file
2. The aggregated data file will only include negative tests. Positive tests (i.e. cases) will not be included.

Please note the COVID-19 tests dataset does not include registered positive rapid antigen test (RAT) information.

The data is for locations associated with confirmed COVID-19 cases that have been classified by NSW Health for action. Refer to the latest COVID-19 news and updates for information on action advice provided by NSW Health.

From Monday 15 November 2021, NSW Health will no longer list case locations that a COVID-19 positive person has attended. This is due to a number of reasons, including high vaccination rates in the community. If you are told to self-isolate by NSW Health or get tested for COVID-19 at any time you must follow this advice.

This dataset provides COVID-19 case locations by date of known outbreak, location, address and action. This data is subject to change as further locations are identified. Locations are removed when 14 days have passed since the last known date that a confirmed case was associated with the location.
