Nine overseas travellers in NSW hotel quarantine have been diagnosed with COVID-19 as authorities detect more virus traces in sewage.
There are 72 active coronavirus cases across the state with health officials warning the public to remain vigilant.
“With the weather becoming warmer and people starting to attend more social gatherings, NSW Health is calling on the community to maintain the COVID-safe behaviours,” a spokesman said on Sunday.
“Although there have been no locally acquired cases in NSW in recent days, now is not the time to drop our guard.”
Members of the public are reminded to keep practising physical distancing and good hand hygiene, and get tested and isolate if they feel unwell.
No locally acquired cases were diagnosed in NSW in the 24 hours to 8pm Saturday.
