NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced the new map was live on Friday morning.
"NSW in an Australian-first have been able to produce heat maps, which will be live," she said.
Member for Wagga Joe McGirr has encouraged the community to visit the website.
"This provides important data on where the cases are and how many people have been tested in those areas, but also give a good picture to people who might live in a hotspot to make sure they're extra-cautious," Dr McGirr said.
"The data will help inform the community about COVID-19 testing and recovery rates across the state. This data reveals the positive effect of communication and testing efforts focussed on hot-spot clusters."
