"While this lockdown is obviously having an impact on some face-to-face services, our staff are all working and contactable," Byron Shire Mayor, Michael Lyon, said.
"There is absolutely no impact on things like sewer, water or our roadworks.
"Many thanks to everyone in the community doing the right thing because working together is the only way out of this lockdown," Mayor Lyon said.
People not feeling well should get tested with a drive-through clinic open seven days a week at the Cavanbah Centre on Ewingsdale Road.
