ALSO MAKING NEWS:
The detection in Bathurst follows COVID fragments being detected in Mudgee and Dubbo last week and the confirmation of a positive COVID case in Dubbo on Tuesday night.
That case, and a second positive case in the city, has led to a seven-day lockdown in Dubbo.
Remnants of COVID were detected in sewage in Bathurst in October last year after the Bathurst 1000, but no positive coronavirus cases in the city followed.
