New South Wales has recorded its highest daily increase in COVID cases since the current outbreak began.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Thursday confirmed 124 locally acquired cases had been recorded in the 24-hour period to 8pm on Wednesday, from more than 85,000 tests.
“Unfortunately, case numbers have gone up again,” she told reporters.
“There’s no doubt, again, that we anticipate case numbers will continue to go up before they start coming down and we need to brace ourselves for that.”
Of the new cases, at least 48 were in the community while infectious.
