The figures were released by NSW Health today in an effort to give the public more up-to-date, clear information.
Novel coronavirus has been present in Tamworth since last Thursday, and the city is now on a watch-list for known flights with confirmed cases.
Health officials ask anyone on Qantas flight QF2004 on March 19, seated in rows 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 to report for testing, as they are classified close contacts.
Positive COVID-19 cases were lower than Tamworth's in similar sized councils, like Dubbo that has one to four and Orange which has six.
