Fears of a new community transmission of COVID 19 in Newcastle appear to have been allayed, with the latest tests not showing up any signs of the virus.
Concerns were raised earlier this week when fragments of Coronavirus were detected at the Burwood Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant, which serves 225,000 people.
More than a thousand people in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie were swabbed on Monday, with no new cases detected.
Further samples from the treatment plant have also come back negative, but health authorities say more tests will be carried out in coming days to be sure.
