"NSW Health thanks the community for their excellent response in continuing to come forward for testing and following public health advice," the department said.

"However, it is important that everyone maintains their guard and continues to watch out for any signs that could indicate COVID-19.

"With new cases being regularly detected among overseas arrivals, there is still a risk of COVID-19 spreading into the NSW community. It is critical that everyone continues to come forward for testing if they have even the mildest of cold-like symptoms."

There are currently 33 coronavirus cases in NSW, none of whom are in intensive care.
