"While there were no locally acquired cases recorded in the past 48 hours, the virus is likely still circulating and it is imperative anyone displaying mild symptoms get tested immediately and not delay their test," Ms Berejiklian said.

The last time NSW had consecutive days without community transmission was July 3, 4, and 5.

Six new cases were recorded in NSW in the last 24 hours, with all in hotel quarantine.
