New South Wales Health has recorded 372 new cases of COVID-19 and one COVID-related death..
There are currently 523 COVID-19 patients in NSW hospitals, with 124 of those requiring intensive care.
In NSW, 92.5 per cent of people aged 16 and over have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 82.3 per cent have had two doses.
A total of 86,235 COVID-19 tests were carried out in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
Premier Dominic Perrottet was asked about reports that five NSW public schools were closed overnight due to COVID cases.
"Schools from time to time will be closed, we have never shied away from that being a challenge," he said.
Mr Perrottet said the NSW education department had done an "incredible" job preparing for the return to school.
"We want our kids back in the classrooms, it's incredibly important for them, it's important for parents across the state."
NSW Health has issued updated advice for household contacts and close contacts of COVID-19 cases.
Those who are not fully vaccinated still need to get tested immediately and self-isolate for 14 days. As long as they test negative on day 12, they can end their isolation after completing the 14 days.
People who are fully vaccinated will only need to self-isolate for seven days.
On day six, they should get tested again. If the test comes back negative and they are well, they can end isolation after day seven.
For the following seven days, they are advised to work from home where possible and avoid hospitality venues and high-risk settings before getting tested again on day 12 following exposure.
More to follow.
