Due to changes in the way Data NSW are updating data sources and repeated delays in updates to the postcode heat maps, we are now compiling the information in this report from raw source data.

Active cases are defined as people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the previous 14 days.

The testing rate is calculated by the number of tests conducted in the previous week compared with the ABS population data for the postcode.

The vaccination rate is based on people who are ‘fully vaccinated’. The postcode of people vaccinated is based on the address they reported at the time of the vaccination. Vaccinations carried out without a valid address are not shown. Individuals who have nominated a geographical address with a non-standard postcode, such as some post office box addresses, are excluded. This represents a very small proportion (<1%) of all persons in the data. The rate will be rounded down to the nearest 10 percent meaning 90 percent is the maximum possible vaccination rate per postcode.
