NSW Health concerned there could be active cases of COVID-19 in south-western Sydney

NSW Health has urged south-western Sydney residents to get tested for COVID-19 after fragments of the virus were detected in wastewater.

Meanwhile, Premier Daniel Andrews says Victorians will have to keep wearing masks, likely into next year, stressing it is a "very low price to pay for a very significant benefit".

Here's a summary of what happened on Tuesday:

  • Sydney health alert: COVID-19 virus fragments found in sewage
  • Queensland border decision expected before the end of month
  • Tasmania plans to reopen border to NSW on November 6
  • Zero new coronavirus cases in Queensland again
  • NSW reports two new cases of locally transmitted COVID-19
  • 'We'll be wearing masks until at least the end of the year': Andrews
  • Gladys Berejiklian wants Queensland border 'games' to end
  • Another day of zero cases for Victoria
