Latest NSW death a man in his 70s
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has confirmed that the latest coronavirus death in the state is a man in his early 70s.
Speaking ahead of a bushfire preparation campaign, Ms Berejiklian said the man caught the virus from one of the clusters that emerged in Sydney's CBD.
"We had over 13,500 tests and we do see a bit of a dip on the weekend, so can I please ask everybody to come forward and get tested even today, don't wait until tomorrow," Ms Berejiklian said.
"Please come forward today.
"But I also want to extend our deepest condolences to a man in his early 70s who unfortunately passed away at Royal North Shore Hospital yesterday."
