NSW has recorded 623 new Covid-19 cases and six deaths overnight.
Deputy chief health officer Dr Jeremy McAnulty delivered the new figures as the state government is plunged into chaos with Gladys Berejiklian stepping down from her role as NSW premier and John Barilaro quitting as deputy premier.
The state has begun its final seven days in lockdown before homes and hospitality businesses can once again welcome visitors as NSW nears its 70 per cent double dose vaccination target.
Across the state, 88.4 per cent of people aged 16 and over had received a first vaccine, and 67.1 per cent were fully vaccinated by midnight on Saturday.
The NSW government on Sunday outlined new public health advice to come into effect on October 11 to manage the spread of COVID-19 as restrictions ease.
Under the advice, which may change as case numbers do, vaccinated and unvaccinated people will have different isolation times if they are a close contact of a COVID-19 case.

Vaccinated close contacts of a positive case must get tested and isolate for seven days.
On the sixth day they must get tested again and if the result is negative, they can end isolation after day seven.
They must work from home for an additional week where possible and not attend hospitality or high-risk settings, even if it is their place of work.
