NSW recorded five locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, two of which were announced yesterday morning.

NSW Health has also been notified of seven new locally acquired cases overnight. These cases will be included in tomorrow's numbers.

No new overseas-acquired cases were recorded in the same period, bringing the total number of cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 5,465.

There were 28,645 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day's total of 25,252.

NSW Health thanks the community for coming forward to get tested for COVID-19, with a very good response yesterday. High testing numbers are vital in detecting cases of COVID-19 in order to prevent further transmission.

Anyone with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms is urged to get tested without delay and isolate until a negative result is received. People in Sydney's eastern suburbs and the Wollongong area are asked to be especially vigilant for the onset of symptoms.

NSW Health administered a record 18,045 COVID-19 vaccines in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, including 6,694 at the vaccination centre at Sydney Olympic Park.

The total number of vaccines administered in NSW is now 1,917,183, with 694,125 doses administered by NSW Health to 8pm last night and 1,223,058 administered by the GP network and other providers to 11.59pm on Sunday 20 June.

There are now 21 cases linked to the Bondi cluster. Of the 5 locally reported cases to 8pm last night:

Two were announced yesterday:

• a woman in her 50s from Sydney's northern suburbs. She is a close contact of a previously reported case and has been in isolation.
• a man in his 30s from Sydney's eastern suburbs. He is a close contact of a previously reported case and has been in isolation.

Three further cases were reported to 8pm last night:

• a woman in her 60s from the Illawarra. She is a close contact of a previously reported case and has been in isolation.
• a woman in her 40s from Sydney's northern suburbs. She is a close contact of a previously reported case and has been in isolation.
• a woman in her 20s from the eastern suburbs. She is linked to the Bondi cluster. Further investigations are underway.

NSW Health can also advise there have been seven locally acquired cases notified overnight since 8pm. Six of these are household contacts of previous cases who have been in isolation. One case is a child who attends primary school in the eastern suburbs. These seven cases will be included in Wednesday's numbers.

NSW Health is asking anyone who was in Westfield Bondi Junction (including the car park) at any time between 12 June and 18 June to get tested for COVID-19. Only people with symptoms and those who have been to specific exposure venues at the listed times need to test and isolate. Anyone who does not have symptoms and has not been to specific exposure venues at the listed times should get tested but does not need to isolate. However, these people are strongly urged to avoid gatherings and minimise their movements, such as not attending the cinemas or trips to the ski fields until they return a negative test. If you can work from home, please do so.

This broader surveillance testing will help NSW Health to determine the extent of potential transmission at Westfield Bondi Junction. Detecting any cases early is critical to prevent ongoing transmission.

Venues of concern are being identified as case investigations continue, and the list of venues is continuing to be updated. Please check the NSW Health website regularly and follow the relevant health advice if you have attended a venue of concern.

Masks are now mandatory on public transport in Greater Sydney and the Blue Mountains, and the Wollongong and Shellharbour local government areas.

NSW Health continues to remind people to avoid non-essential visits to aged care and disability facilities, but if visiting, wear a mask and limit visits to two people per day.
