It brings the weekend total for the MLHD to 669, after 417 cases were announced for Saturday.

While there are 16 people hospitalised with COVID across the MLHD, none are in intensive care, the MLHD said in its weekly update.

The authority also renewed calls for the community to come forward for vaccinations and boosters.

"We urge people to get their booster dose as soon as they are eligible, to best protect themselves, their loved ones and the community from the ongoing transmission of COVID- 19," the MLHD said.

"We also strongly recommend that people aged 12 years and over who are severely immunocompromised have a third primary dose of vaccine from two months after their second dose."

More than 5000 people in the region have been diagnosed with COVID in the last two weeks, with 2999 detections in the last seven days and 2466 in the week prior.

Vaccinations can be sought between 2pm and 6pm in Holbrook on Monday, Tumut on Wednesday, Tumbarumba on Thursday and Henty on Friday.

The clinic will open in Batlow at 11am until 6pm on Tuesday.
