As Covid ravages both sides of the Murray, some welcomed relief has been issued from health authorities for asymptomatic people in isolation awaiting PCR test results.
Chief executive of the Murrumbidgee Local Health District Jill Ludford announced on Monday that people who produced a PCR test but have not received their results after seven days "can de-isolate if they don't have symptoms".
"Please do not wait until you get that PCR result, you can go back out into the community if you're asymptomatic,"
The new advice comes as residents in Wagga reported waiting for up to 13 days before receiving their PCR results.
