Those add to the previous day's tally of 80 amid surging numbers right across the state.
In the Eurobodalla, 24 new cases were reported in the past 24 hours, down slightly from 33 the previous day.
The Southern NSW Local Health District reported 322 new cases in the 24 hours to 8pm Wednesday.
IN addition to Bega Valley and Eurobodalla's there were 23 cases in the Yass Valley LGA, 8 in the Upper Lachlan, 31 in the Snowy Monaro, 63 in Queanbeyan Palerang and 84 cases in the Goulburn Mulwaree LGA.
As of last week, SNSWLHD announced it would not be reporting specific locations of positive cases given the increasing numbers involved.
A SNSWLHD spokesperson said most LHDs stopped reporting case towns/suburbs months ago, once case numbers increased.
"We have been able to keep reporting towns until a few days ago because of our low case numbers. Now that we have so many cases it is not possible to do that - there are too many towns to mention individually," the spokesperson told ACM.
"Given the high case numbers across all LGAs, there is no public health imperative to mention each town - it is now widespread."
