Senators Statement delivered on 15 August, 2021 on the Coronavirus outbreak in Western NSW.
There are now 43 COVID cases in Wilcannia, spreading through overcrowded houses among an unvaccinated and vulnerable population. Slow testing times and limitations on health services mean that the spread of the virus is much more likely to be larger than current statistics show.
There are now over 350 active cases in Western New South Wales, overwhelmingly among our First Australians. The majority of those are in Dubbo, but there are positive cases in Bourke, Walgett, Narromine, Parkes, Broken Hill, Brewarrina, Gilgandra and Wellington.
Many of these cases are occurring in communities where the only health services that are available are from the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and it is hours and hours by ambulance to the nearest ICU facilities. Walgett hospital has four beds, none of them ICU.
As of Monday, there were 109 active cases amongst First Nations people in Sydney, and there are cases in the Indigenous community on the Mid North Coast, in Kempsey and Nambucca. We have always known that Indigenous Australians are more vulnerable to this virus.
