NSW recorded 1,116 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.
Four people died of COVID-19 in the reporting period.
It means there have been 100 COVID-19 deaths since NSW’s Delta outbreak began in June.
The four patients who died were women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
All had underlying health conditions and none were vaccinated.
There are now 917 COVID cases being cared for in NSW hospitals with 150 people in intensive care, 66 of whom require ventilation.
Of the 150 in ICU, 127 patients are not vaccinated.
In western NSW, there were 29 new COVID-19 cases, predominately in Dubbo.
The small town of Wilcannia, in the state's far west, reported three new COVID-19 cases.
Deputy Premier John Barilaro said vaccine uptake had been ramping up in many regional areas with 67 per cent of people in Wilcannia having had one jab.
"It's a mighty effort," he said.
More to come.
