Of the 10 deaths in the 24 hours to 8pm on Friday, four people were not vaccinated and five people had received one dose.

One man, who acquired his infection at Mount Druitt Hospital, had received two doses but was suffering underlying health conditions.

The deaths take the toll for the current NSW outbreak to 362.

NSW Health on Saturday said it had detected virus fragments in sewage at Dareton in the far west, Dungog in the Hunter, Karuah on the mid coast, South Grafton in northern NSW and Bermagui on the south coast.

Casino is currently in lockdown, with stay-at-home orders applicable to anyone who has visited the northern NSW town since September 24.
