NSW has recorded four new cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours.

Three of the new cases are returned overseas travellers and one is a locally acquired case with no confirmed source.

NSW Health's Dr Jeremy McAnulty confirmed the locally acquired case was a man aged in his 50s who frequented the southwest Sydney area.

"Anyone who attended Woolworths at Campbelltown Mall on Thursday September 17 between 1.30 and 2pm is considered a casual contact of this individual and must monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if symptoms develop," Dr McAnulty said.

Dr McAnulty also appealed for more people to come forward for testing after a recent drop in numbers attending COVID clinics.

"This is particularly important in southwest Sydney – if people don't come forward for testing, we can't keep the pandemic at bay," he said.
