"Thank you to our MLHD hotline staff and testing teams, as well as the commonwealth respiratory clinics, general practitioners and pathology services across the district, who have all contributed to this milestone."

Ms Ludford also made special mention of the mobile clinic teams, who have ventured out on freezing winter mornings and set up their pop-up clinics to provide access to testing for Riverina communities.

"Having a range of testing options available means that residents from across the district are able to be tested as soon as possible after symptoms appear," she said.

The Murrumbidgee Local Health District have urged anyone with symptoms to be tested, as testing is critical in helping to minimise the risk of community transmission.

Symptoms include fever, cough, sore and scratchy throat, shortness of breath and loss of taste or smell.
