The state has recorded zero new locally acquired cases for the third day in a row while the northern beaches and Berala clusters have appeared to have been all but stamped out.
Testing numbers have nearly doubled after the government’s plea on Tuesday morning, with 19,959 people tests occurring in the 24 hours to 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening, up from 10,621 the day before.
However, this number is still a long way short of the daily record, set at above 60,000 tests in one day just before Christmas as the northern beaches cluster spread.
Greater Sydney, Central Coast, and Wollongong residents are currently required to wear masks indoors when out of their homes.
Households can only have five visitors a day, including adults and children. Outdoor gatherings are limited to 30 people.
Restrictions on weddings, funerals and religious services could also be in line for changes.
Meanwhile, NSW Police are investigating potential rule breaches at a party in North Bondi on Sunday evening.
A video posted online showed a large group of people dancing near the beach despite limitations.
Commissioner Mick Fuller told 2GB radio on Tuesday that police would continue to take such complaints seriously.
“If we don’t take those type of complaints seriously then we'll get complacency in the community, people won’t wear masks, they won’t do the right thing,” Fuller said.
