As at 8am, the total number of identified COVID-19 positive patients in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District remains at 45.
There are 39 recovered cases, and currently no hospitalisations. A total of 4,480 people have been tested.
The last positive case reported in the Murrumbidgee region was on April 16.
Nine of the ten cases reported in Wagga have recovered, with the one remaining active case being treated at home.
A MLHD spokesperson said while the individual had first tested positive over a month ago, the case did not appear to be serious as the person did not require hospitalisation.
The spokesperson said the individual would only be classified as recovered when they no longer had any symptoms.
To help boost the number of patients being tested, the MLHD is launching a new mobile clinic this week. The mobile service will also support the testing service to respond quickly to any hotspots which may occur.
The mobile clinic will be at Lockhart on Wednesday and Friday morning, Henty on Wednesday and Friday afternoon, Narrandera on Thursday morning and Coolamon on Thursday afternoon.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever and dry cough. Some people also experience sore throat, shortness of breath, or runny or stuffy nose.
Anyone who believes they may have the virus should call the Murrumbidgee COVID-19 Hotline on 1800 831 099 for a confidential over the phone assessment. The hotline is open every day between 7am and 9pm.
MLHD executive director of medical service Len Bruce has warned that an explained loss of smell or change in their ability to taste could be "subtle signs" of COVID-19.
