Fifty-seven tests were conducted on Christmas Day and 135 on Christmas Eve.

Boxing Day was the quietest of the period, with 25 tests completed.

A Bendigo Health spokesperson believed the virus outbreak in Greater Sydney was among the factors driving up testing.

Bendigo Health has conducted more than 440 tests on people who have been in NSW since the Greater Sydney outbreak.

Some of those tests were on the same people in different stages of their isolation.

The Bendigo Health spokesperson believed testing numbers during the festive season had been relatively high because the community was remaining vigilant and getting tested at the slightest of symptoms.

The Department of Health and Human Services continues to advise anyone with symptoms, no matter how mild, to get tested immediately.
