NSW recorded one new overseas-acquired case overnight, bringing the total number of cases in the state since the beginning of the pandemic to 5,423.

There was a strong turn-out for the second day of increased COVID-19 testing in Moree, and Hunter New England Health (HNEH) have thanked the community for continuing to come forward.

"After a great first day of testing in Moree, we had another positive turn-out yesterday which highlights the commitment of the local community to keep themselves and each other safe," HNE Chief Executive Michael DiRienzo said.

"On Friday we had much better weather and Moree Plains Shire Council were on-site at the hospital clinic to assist with traffic control, so everything ran very smoothly and we were able to test people as quickly and efficiently as possible."

The Moree hospital clinic will continue to operate for extended hours from 8am to 6pm, Saturday to Monday.

The Laverty Pathology drive through clinic, located at the Gateway Puma service station in Moree, will also operate from 9am to 3pm, Saturday to Monday, and the Pius X Aboriginal Medical Service will open from 9am to 5pm, Saturday to Monday.

With the long-weekend upon us, the community is asked to continue to come forward for testing, for even the mildest of COVID-19 symptoms.

Symptoms can include fever, cough, breathing difficulties, sore throat, loss of smell or taste, runny nose, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and fatigue.

"We also appreciate the commitment of all the people who have been caught up as close contacts in Moree venues to remain in isolation for the 14 days since their potential contact with the Victorian confirmed cases," Mr DiRienzo said.

NSW Health administered its highest-ever number of COVID-19 vaccines in one day on Friday, giving 16,288 jabs in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
