NSW has recorded 30 new locally acquired cases of coronavirus on the first day of a 14-day lockdown for large parts of the state.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmed new local cases of COVID-19 were recorded between 8pm Friday and 8pm Saturday, taking the total number in the outbreak to 110 cases.
More than 52,000 people were tested in the same period.
Of the 30 new cases, 11 were already self-isolating while the remaining are all linked, Ms Berejiklian said.
It is the first day of a strict lockdown for Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour, which is scheduled to end at 11.59pm on July 9.
NSW residents in the lockdown zone are only allowed to leave home for work that can’t be done at home, to shop for essential items, for exercise, to seek medical care or for care-giving or compassionate reasons.
Anyone in NSW who has been to Greater Sydney since June 21 is also being asked to stay at home for the lockdown period.
Exercise outdoors is allowed in groups of up to 10, and COVID-safe funerals can proceed with up to 100 people.
Weddings are allowed on Sunday with restrictions in place, but must be cancelled from Monday.
