Of the 919, a new rec ord daily high:

  • 178 are linked to a known case or cluster
  • 106 were in isolation throughout their infectious period
  • 18 were in isolation for part of their infectious period
  • The isolation status of 741 cases remains under investigation
  • Doing the sums ... up to 813 of today's 919 new cases were in the community while infectious. How to seed a further rise.

The total number of vaccines administered in NSW is now 6,143,824
