NSW has reported 667 new locally acquired cases of COVID–19 and 10 deaths.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard is heartened by the drop in cases over the past few weeks but is warning people to "be careful" and respect restrictions while enjoying the NRL grand final to prevent super–spreader events.
"You shouldn't be having people at home," he told reporters on Sunday.
"Your home remains one of the most dangerous places to be in terms of transmission of the virus."
Although the rugby league decider was held out of state in Queensland for the first time on Sunday, Sydney fans were buoyed by the fact two of their own teams contested the event – South Sydney and Penrith.
