NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard says in the 24 hours to 8pm last night the state recorded 1,022 locally acquired cases of COVID-19.
"The cases predominantly are still in western Sydney and south-western Sydney, but we also have very high vaccination rates in south-western Sydney and western Sydney," Mr Hazzard said at Tuesday's media conference.
"And I just want to thank everybody in western Sydney and south-western Sydney for coming out and getting, obviously, vaccinated in vast numbers and that is obviously starting to make a real difference for us.
"So more broadly across the state, everybody has been doing that – so thank you so much."
Mr Hazzard also said NSW recorded 10 deaths related to COVID-19.
