Response to Coronavirus

We have embarked on a series of measures and actions in the interests of the health and wellbeing of residents in response to the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

You must stay at home, unless you are going to work (where you can’t work remotely), school or an educational institution, shop for food and essentials, get medical care or supplies and exercise.

The NSW Government is increasing testing in Blacktown Local Government area due to a small number of community transmission cases and the source has not been identified. If you have symptoms call your GP or 1800 022 222 (healthdirect) or visit one of the public COVID-19 clinics.
