EARLIER, Tuesday:
HEALTH authorities are urging people to get tested after further COVID-19 exposure in the Nhill community.
A spokesperson for West Wimmera Health Service says the affected community members are currently in isolation, with the health service and council providing them with supplies during their term of quarantine.
West Wimmera Health Service chief executive Ritchie Dodds said anyone who lives in, works in, or has visited Nhill in the past fortnight should watch for mild symptoms, and get tested as soon as possible if symptoms develop.
"Please do your part and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by maintaining a safe distance from others, wear a mask in public, especially indoors and wash your hands often," he said.
COVID-19 testing will be available at the Nhill Truck Exchange from 12pm to 12am daily.
