Coronavirus numbers in NSW continue to decline, just one new infection recorded - ABC News

Health authorities in NSW have confirmed just one new coronavirus infection, bringing the state's total to 3,033.

It's the lowest number of infections recorded in a 24-hour period since the outbreak began in February.

More than 5,500 people were tested in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.

The new case is a seven-year-old boy from Warragamba Public School who has mild symptoms.

The NSW Department of Education said the school was closed for cleaning today and contact tracing had begun.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said authorities expected to see more positive cases of coronavirus as students return to classrooms from May 11.

"I say to parents and teachers and school communities, this is likely to occur on a more regular basis when schools go back," she said.

"I anticipate it will happen more frequently but please have confidence we've gone through the processes and we know what takes to keep everyone safe when this occurs."

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said he was pleased with public conduct following the relaxation of some lockdown laws on Friday.

"There were 22 tickets issued over the three days, but if we go back to last weekend there were over 100 tickets issued," he said.

"Even though there was a relaxation, the people of NSW are still working hard to take this seriously."

Mr Fuller confirmed interstate NRL teams were applying to travel under an exemption to NSW following the arrival of the New Zealand Warriors in Tamworth yesterday.

The NRL season is due to restart later this month.

More to come.
