NSW Health has confirmed two more people with COVID-19 have died in Sydney.
Dr Chant said family gatherings remain a key factor contributing to rising case numbers.
While Pfizer supplies remain constrained, the NSW government says it has plentiful AstraZeneca, which is effective in preventing hospitalisation or death. The new figures come amid concerns an anti-lockdown protest that took place in Sydney's CBD on Saturday could be a"super-spreader event".“We have received 10,000 Crime Stoppers reports since Saturday in terms of criminal behaviour and breaches of the health order at the protest,” he told reporters.
On Sunday, Police Minister David Elliott said he expected all protesters would be identified and fined - and possibly charged - in the coming days. This may involve tightened or more targeted measures in southwest and west Sydney, where the virus is prevalent, as well as changes to testing requirements.
