Deputy Premier John Barilaro says the government is looking to fast track the opportunity for vaccination in rural and regional New South Wales.
When questioned this morning about sewage detections in regional areas without cases, Mr Barilaro said some people may be being transferred from some regional areas to hospitals in other areas.
New South Wales Health says it remains concerned about sewage detections, including at Wauchope.
Anyone with symptoms areas with sewage detections is urged to get tested and self-isolate.
