As at 8am on Thursday, the number of people who have tested positive to COVID-19 in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District remains at 45.
There are 39 recovered cases, and currently no hospitalisations.
Health officials are encouraging anyone with any respiratory symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, dry cough or sore or scratchy throat to call the COVID-19 hotline to book in for a test.
Tests undertaken at any of the MLHD's testing clinics are free and confidential.
The earlier the virus is detected, the more quickly the risk of transmission can be identifie, according to an MLHD spokesperson.
"If we can contact and isolated people who may have become infected before they become sick, then they're not spreading it to other people," the spokesperson said.
A total of 56 people in Lockhart and Henty took advantage of the MLHD's new mobile screening van on Thursday.
MLHD's district manager of virtual care Phil Major said the first day results were pleasing, proving the need for health workers to be out and about in the community to ensure people had access to testing clinics.
"It's imperative for our districts to be agile and flexible in providing testing clinics where and when they are needed and the mobile van enables us to be nimble in our response to testing for COVID- 19 in emerging hotspots," Mr Major said.
"The ability to mobilise our testing team will be critical as we enter the next phase of community transmission."
The team will set up in Coolamon on Thursday afternoon, before returning to Lockhart and Henty on Friday to undertake additional testing on any people who may have missed out.
The pop up clinics will be deployed based on demand, Mr Major said
The service will remain operational until all assessment and testing requirements are met.
Anyone who believes they may have the COVID-19 virus should call the Murrumbidgee COVID-19 Hotline on 1800 831 099 - between 7am and 9pm every day - for a confidential over the phone assessment.

Meanwhile, people planning to visit the Murrumbidgee Local Health District's residential aged care facilities will need to prove they have had a 2020 flu vaccination.
While MLHD is requesting families to keep visiting to a minimum, staff are also checking visitors to ensure their vaccines are up to date before granting access to the facility.
Evidence of immunisation status may be a statement or record from a GP practice or an immunisation history statement available from Medicare online or the Express Plus app.
