NSW has recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 as more people are permitted to come together for worship, in hospitality venues and outside at gatherings.
The total of five cases comes from almost 13,000 tests, prompting another appeal from NSW Health for the state's residents to seek testing if they feel unwell.
It's the second consecutive 24-hour period in which NSW recorded no new locally-acquired virus cases, and comes as the state government from this weekend eases some restrictions. Staffing regulations at gyms across NSW have also been relaxed, with a safety marshal only required when more than 20 people are working out.
