NSW has reported 345 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 and at least 95 of those people were circulating in the community for all or part of their infectious period.
Two more people have died, both men in their 90s.
Last week the state recorded more than 2000 fresh cases and on Friday set a new record of 390 new local cases.
Large parts of the state are in lockdown as health authorities battle to contain an outbreak of the virulent Delta strain.
Regional NSW is still dealing with dozens of cases after Sydneysiders spread the virus into the Hunter and northern rivers regions.
A one-week lockdown is still underway for Walgett, Dubbo, Bogan, Bourke, Brewarrina, Coonamble, Gilgandra, Narromine and Warren.
Two schools in Dubbo, the Buninyong Public School and the Dubbo School of Distance Education, closed following COVID-19 cases while the NSW Department of Education said late on Friday that Oxley Park Public School in western Sydney's St Marys would shut after a member of the school community tested positive.
An additional 8000 vaccines are being sent to Walgett, where about 80 per cent of the 6500 residents are Aboriginal.
Meanwhile authorities have ramped up compliance checks in NSW supermarkets this weekend.
SafeWork NSW said inspectors are targeting retailers and specifically supermarkets from Saturday.
"Any business found breaking the rules may be subjected to fines and could face a closure," Director of Compliance Dimitri Argeres said in a statement.
From Monday, the Australian Defence Force will send an additional 200 soldiers to NSW on top of 550 already assisting COVID-19 efforts.
The toll for the current outbreak in NSW is now at least 40.
