​NSW recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.

Three new cases were acquired overseas, bringing the total number of cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 5,070.

There were 10,375 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day's total of 11,872.

There have been no new cases of local transmission associated with the Sofitel Wentworth Hotel, following the identification of three cases now known to be genomically linked involving one security guard and two returned travellers.

Investigations continue into the nature and direction of the transmission between these cases. No other returned travellers on the same floor of the Sofitel Wentworth have tested positive to date.

Ongoing testing of staff at both the Sofitel and a second quarantine hotel where the security guard worked has also identified no additional cases.

A full list of the exposure venues associated with the security guard can be viewed on the NSW Government website.

It is critical that everyone continues to practise COVID-safe behaviours and seek testing with even the mildest of symptoms.

NSW Health is treating 51 COVID-19 cases, none of whom are in ICU. Most cases (90 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.

There are more than 350 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest clinic, visit
