The Murrumbidgee Local Health District sent out the public health alert on Monday afternoon, urging anyone who attended a funeral at Chambers Park, Tolland on November 5 to come forward for testing.

The funeral was attended "by a large number of people", the health district reported, including someone who has since tested positive for COVID-19.

"Anyone who attended the funeral is asked to immediately seek testing and isolate," an MLHD spokesperson said.

"They must remain isolated until they receive a negative result, unless otherwise directed by NSW Health."

A walk-in COVID testing clinic has been established at the Tolland Community Centre on 41 Bruce Street, open from 2-4pm on November 8 and 9am-3pm on November 9.

On Monday MLHD chief executive Jill Ludford reiterated that NSW Health will be publishing venues of concern that pose a particular risk to the public.

People who attended the venue will be followed up with by NSW Health, advising if they are a close or casual contact and what their next steps should be, she added.

Ms Ludford said the Service NSW app continues to give general advice around low-risk exposure sites, such as supermarkets or petrol stations where the risk of transmission is lower.

People who have been to these types of exposure sites need to monitor for symptoms, only required to get tested if symptoms arise or otherwise advised by NSW Health.

Ms Ludford also said that as travel reopens from Victoria and Sydney, and movements increase as the Christmas period approaches, people can expect to see a small number of cases pop-up locally.

"I think we're still very used to the messaging around elimination where whenever there's a new case [of COVID-19] we try and track every movement and every venue," she said.

"But now we're actually into living with COVID and it's all about how we can add layers of protection to keep ourselves safe, and to lessen the transmission in our communities."

These "layers of protection" include vaccination, Ms Ludford said, with the health district having recently reached a first-dose rate of 97 per cent, and 88 per cent fully-vaccinated.

Ms Ludford encouraged children over 12 in particular to come forward for vaccination, with the younger age group particularly vulnerable against the virus at the moment.

In Albury, around two thirds of cases in the current outbreak have involved people under the age of 19.
