In the 24 hours between 8pm on Saturday and 8pm on Sunday, NSW recorded 14 new cases of coronavirus.
Twelve of these were locally acquired, one was from interstate and another is a returned overseas traveller currently in hotel quarantine.
This period marked Australia's deadliest day since the pandemic began with 19 deaths linked to COVID-19.
All of these deaths were located in Victoria, where cases appear to be stablising as the state continues with tough lockdowns.
