New South Wales has recorded 77 new local COVID-19 cases and one death as Greater Sydney enters its third week of lockdown.
A woman in her 90s from Sydney’s southwest, who was a close contact of a locally-acquired case and tested positive for the virus on Friday, died on Saturday at Liverpool Hospital.
“Tragically, we’ve seen one older person die and I want to extend my deepest condolences to their families and loved ones,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Sunday, noting the person had acquired the virus in their household.
Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said it's "understood" the woman was not vaccinated.
