The Orange LGA recorded seven new cases in the 24-hour period to 8pm on Monday, all linked to the two Orange cases recorded earlier this week.
There have been nine new cases since October 23 and all of them are linked.
The seven cases in Orange are the only cases identified across the Western NSW Local Health District in the latest reporting period.
