Superintendent Bob Noble of the Riverina Police District applauded the widespread compliance to social distancing measures across the region over the Easter long weekend.

But, he appealed to the community to continue efforts to stay apart.

"The measures are working and they're working because simply the community has jumped on board. They've accepted them as a new sense of normal for the time being," Superintendent Noble said.

"There's been a very, very low rate of continued infection which is pleasing but it's also not the cause for any complacency or satisfaction on our behalf. Indeed, I think it's now time for us to dig in and re-double our efforts to commit to those measures and to try and fight this event going forward."

The Riverina still saw hundreds of breaches to travel and social gathering restrictions over Easter long weekend.

"Keep in mind that we are not out the other side of this thing," Superintendent Noble said.

"It's nearly May which means winter is nearly here, and there's a reason winter is known as 'flu season.

"Viruses such as this flourish, take root and they can infect the community very quickly at this time of the year."

State member for Wagga, Dr Joe McGirr reiterated the superintendent's call for community awareness ahead of what could be the worst season to come.

"It is pleasing that the measures that have been taken seem to be working in our region," Dr McGirr said.

"We've effectively had a lockdown in a region and kept cases out, but we have to remain vigilant."
