Overall, the number of active cases of coronavirus remains stable in Western NSW, with five people still receiving medical treatment.
Of those still sick from the virus, two people are in the Mid-Western local government area, with one each in the Bathurst, Dubbo and Orange LGAs.
There have been six cases in total in the Dubbo local government area.
At the weekend in was reported that the LGA had no active cases, however it was a mistake. There remains one person in Dubbo receiving treatment for COVID-19.
A Western NSW LHD spokeswoman has clarified that the health district incorrectly reported that there were two active cases in Orange.
The figures should have shown one active case in Orange and one in Dubbo.
There have been 45 COVID-19 cases in the Western NSW Local Health District (LHD), a number that has remained relatively stable since April 6.

A number of LGAs, including Cowra, Forbes, Bogan and Oberon, have had no COVID-19 cases at all.
"It is critical that everyone in all our local communities continue to practice social distancing to minimise the risk of the transmission of COVID-19," the LHD spokeswoman said.
"This is important for everyone, but particularly for older people and people with health conditions that make them more vulnerable.
"It's also important that we protect our health care workers who we need to stay well to provide care to people who become sick with COVID-19."
