So far up to 2825 people have been tested for the COVID-19 virus across the Riverina.

There have been 45 positive cases recorded in the region, with 33 recovered after coming back with negative results in a follow-up test.

Of the 10 cases diagnosed so far in Wagga, eight people have recovered.

A majority of these cases have been cared for outside of hospital, with five people requiring hospitalisation.

The most recent positive case record was on Friday when an Albury resident returned to Australia and tested positive while in quarantine in a Sydney hotel. However, the resident has not yet arrived back in the Riverina.

In Albury, five of the eight cases have recovered while five of the seven cases in Federation have come back with negative results in the follow-up test.

The Berrigan Shire has had two recoveries of the five positive results.

Cootamundra-Gundagai has had one recovery of its two cases.

All cases in Greater Hume, Griffith city, Hay shire, Hilltops, Snowy Valleys and Murrumbidgee councils have returned to full health with no new cases recorded.

Those aged between 20 and 29 are heavily represented in the confirmed cases, with the 17 people in that age group diagnosed making up a large proportion of the health district's official tally.
