BREAKING: NSW has recorded 50 new local cases of COVID-19, with Premier Gladys Berejiklian warning 'things are going to get worse'.
It comes after NSW recorded 44 new local COVID-19 cases on Friday, with 29 of those either partially or fully infectious in the community.
Ms Berejiklian said the number of cases not in complete isolation was concerning because it meant higher cases in the coming days. "I need everyone to be shocked because when I said just a few days before we had to go into lockdown that this was the scariest period for New South Wales during the pandemic, unfortunately those words are absolutely the case," she said on Friday.
Carpooling between non-household members is also banned, while funerals will be restricted to only ten people from Sunday.NSW Health on Friday evening issued a list of 30 new exposure sites, also including two Bunnings stores in Randwick and Hoxton Park, and a row of six furniture stores in Campbelltown.
