NSW still trying to link COVID cases, one new local case.
New South Wales has recorded just one new local coronavirus case on Wednesday, in a child in a household with existing cases.
There were 20,664 tests in the 24 hours to 8pm Tuesday, an increase from 19,000 the day before and closer to health authorities' 25,000 daily goal.
There were six additional cases in returned travellers in hotel quarantine.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said genomic testing had also found the couple from Mt Druitt, included in Tuesday's numbers after the man presented to Mt Druitt Hospital over the weekend and returned a positive test, have been linked to the Berala cluster.
However, authorities don't yet know how the couple came to be infected.
