The outbreak at the Border in Albury and Wodonga is continuing to grow, with 34 of today's cases located within the Albury LGA.

One new case is a resident of the Federation LGA, whilst another is a resident of the Murray River LGA.

NSW Health also reported on Wednesday that COVID fragments have been detected in both Leeton and Young.

"Everyone in these areas is urged to monitor for the onset of symptoms, and if they appear, to immediately be tested and isolate until a negative result is received," a NSW Health spokesperson said.

There has now been a total of 431 COVID cases and two deaths reported in the MLHD since the start of the current outbreak.

This includes 335 in the Albury LGA, 25 in Hilltops, 15 in Edward River, 21 in the Greater Hume, nine in Murray River, eight in Federation, six in Wagga, eight in Berrigan, one in Griffith, two in Temora and one in the Murrumbidgee LGA.

More than 200 of these cases have been reported since Saturday, October 23.

Earlier in the week, MLHD chief exective Jill Ludford said the source of the Wagga case is still being traced, but is believed to be linked to the Albury and Wodonga outbreak.

She also said that there could be undetected transmission of the virus in the community, urging people to come forward for testing and vaccination.
