NSW Premier has also been speaking
The Premier of NSW, Gladys Berejiklian has been speaking.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says it's a "miracle" the state has not seen a hotel quarantine security guard case until now, as seven new infections were confirmed today.
Of the seven cases, two are returned travellers in hotel quarantine, one from overseas and one from Victoria, NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant confirmed.
Five are locally-acquired including one who is a close contact of a previous case with an unknown source.
Dr Chant said 19,414 people were tested in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.
Ms Berejiklian said authorities remained concerned with the amount of community transmission in Western and South-Western Sydney.
"Anytime any of us leave the house, especially if we live in Western and South-Western Sydney, we have to assume we have been exposed to the virus and we have to make that assumption every day," she said.
