The virus may still be circulating in the community. People with mild symptoms or those who show no obvious symptoms can unknowingly pass it to others.
With the easing of restrictions, it remains essential that everyone maintains social distancing of 1.5m and regularly washes their hands to minimise the risk of virus transmission.
NSW Health is again urging anyone feeling unwell - even with the mildest of symptoms such as a runny nose or scratchy throat - to isolate from others and get tested.
