NSW records another four new cases of coronavirus

Four new cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in NSW to 8pm Thursday, marking the seventh consecutive day of zero community transmission.

NSW has recorded four new cases of coronavirus overnight, with all of those returned travellers in hotel quarantine.

This marks the seventh consecutive day of zero community transmission.

But Premier Gladys Berejiklian once again urged residents not to become complacent.

When probed by reporters on Friday about the Queensland government’s roadmap to reopening its borders – which states it will welcome NSW residents back on November 1 – Ms Berejiklian said: “ I would welcome that with open arms.”

“If that is the case I'm ecstatic about that.”

She still took a swing at her Queensland counterpart Annastacia Palaszczuk for her tough border stance.

“I would have wished it happened sooner,” Ms Berejiklian said.

More details are likely to be available in the daily NSW Health update later in the morning.
