The Hunter New England Health (HNEH) district added a record 3,424 new infections to 8pm on Wednesday.
Sadly two people from Lake Macquarie died, a man and a woman aged in their 60s who had both been double vaccinated against COVID-19.
HNEH has urged the community to only seek a PCR test if they have symptoms, live with a confirmed case, or have been advised to do so by authorities, due to the high testing pressure at the moment.
A PCR test can be received at the drive-through on Marius Street, the hospital clinic, Douglas Hanly Moir and the Tamworth Respiratory Clinic.
Rapid tests are harder to come by but are sold at various Tamworth pharmacies and businesses when they are available.
