Both are in Karabar and are linked to known cases.
The Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) was notified of the cases in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
Although there were no new venues of concern, everyone in the district should be alert for any symptoms that could signal COVID-19, including headache, nausea, sore throat, runny nose, cough, loss of smell or taste, or fever.
If symptoms appear, people must isolate and get tested immediately, and remain isolated until a negative result is received.
Meanwhile, NSW recorded 244 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
No new cases were acquired overseas and seven cases have been excluded following further investigation, bringing the total number of cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 76,628.
Sadly, NSW Health is reporting the death of a man in his 60s from Albury who died at Box Hill Hospital in Victoria. He was not vaccinated.
To help stop the spread of COVID-19:
- If you are unwell, get tested and isolate right away - don't delay.
- Wash your hands regularly and take hand sanitiser with you when you go out.
- Keep your distance and leave 1.5 metres between yourself and others.
- Wear a mask at all times when outside your home, except when exercising.
