Welcome to our Lane Cove Local News week in review, where we tell you what has happened over the last seven days in Lane Cove. This week the kids of Lane Cove celebrated Halloween in force. It was nice to be able to mix with your neighbours. It also saw the re-start of events with a charity art show, the opening of 12ft Lane Cove Skiff Club’s new boat shed and rigging deck, just three years on from the fire that destroyed the old building.

The tables show the location of residence by Local Government Area (LGA) or local health district (LHD) of locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the last four weeks. It is based on the date the person first developed symptoms. When no date of symptom onset is available (it is either under investigation by public health staff or the person tested positive without showing symptoms), the date of the positive test is used. Infections are not always acquired in the place of residence as people often travel outside their area for many reasons (e.g. work, school and shopping). Cases without an NSW residential address and people who were exposed interstate or overseas are not shown. Case counts may vary over time due to ongoing investigations and case reviews.*Includes all locally acquired cases (known and unknown source)
