NSW has recorded 38 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.

It's the highest number of new infections the state has recorded in a 24-hour reporting period in 14 months.

The source of 12 of the infections remains under investigation.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said 11 of the new cases had been infectious for a number of days while out in the community.

"Those numbers are too high. We need to get those numbers down," Ms Berejiklian said.

She implored Sydneysiders to stay at home.

"Please avoid contact with other households, please avoid visiting family and friends because you are not allowed to."

Chief health officer Kerry Chant said 40 cases were in hospital, including 17 people aged under 55 and 10 under 35 years.

Of those in hospital, 11 are in intensive care, including one aged in their 30s and three being ventilated.

Dr Chant said areas of most concern were in the Fairfield local government area and included Greenacre, Smithfield, West Hoxton Park, Bankstown and Roselands.

I have a trip planned for August ... out to Birdsville & down the Birdsville track into Sth Aust then across into Victoria and to Lakes Entrance.

Things are looking dicey & I've had to pre-pay a fair bit of accommodation already.

I hope I can get my money back no hassles if Covid throws a spanner in the works.

Vaccinated people can still catch it & spread it.

The same applies to the normal flu vaccinations..

you can still get & spread the flu even if you've had the shot.

It means that if you get it it will be a much milder dose & shouldn't require hospitalisation.

It's not a cure all.

Not enough people are vaxxed.
Only 7% are fully vaxxed.

About 20% are like me with only their first shot of AstraZeneca.

Most nursing home residents have had both and majority of older people have had at least one. One shot prevents serious illness and hospitalisation, so time to open up and let it rip.

Everyone I've spoken to is saying their elderly parents are done.
My mum is in a retirement village kind of place, everuone therr is 100% done. Her elderly aunt in a nursing home, all residents done.

"But based on the data available, it appears that more than a third of the country's nursing home residents are not fully vaccinated."
