NSW COVID-19 case locations (discontinued)

From 20 October 2023, COVID-19 datasets will no longer be updated. Detailed information is available in the fortnightly NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/reports.aspx. Latest national COVID-19 spread, vaccination and treatment metrics are available on the Australian Government Health website: https://www.health.gov.au/topics/covid-19/reporting?language=und

The data is for locations associated with confirmed COVID-19 cases that have been classified by NSW Health for action. Refer to the latest COVID-19 news and updates for information on action advice provided by NSW Health.

From Monday 15 November 2021, NSW Health will no longer list case locations that a COVID-19 positive person has attended. This is due to a number of reasons, including high vaccination rates in the community. If you are told to self-isolate by NSW Health or get tested for COVID-19 at any time you must follow this advice.

This dataset provides COVID-19 case locations by date of known outbreak, location, address and action. This data is subject to change as further locations are identified. Locations are removed when 14 days have passed since the last known date that a confirmed case was associated with the location.

The Government has obligations under the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 and the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 in relation to the collection, use and disclosure of the personal, including the health information, of individuals. Information about NSW Privacy laws is available here: https://data.nsw.gov.au/understand-key-data-legislation.

The information collected about confirmed case locations does not include any information to directly identify individuals, such as their name, date of birth or address.

Other governments and private sector bodies also have legal obligations in relation to the protection of personal, including health, information. The Government does not authorise any reproduction or visualisation of the data on this website which includes any representation or suggestion in relation to the personal or health information of any individual. The Government does not endorse or control any third party websites including products and services offered by, from or through those websites or their content.
