NSW residents are being urged to remain on high alert and monitor their health after 17 new COVID-19 cases were confirmed across the state.
The new cases were diagnosed in the 24 hours to 8.00pm on Sunday from 22,032 tests, bringing the total number of cases in NSW to 3,496.
It comes as in the biggest daily spike since the pandemic began.
Four NSW cases are linked to the funeral service cluster in Sydney's southwest, three are household contacts of cases associated with Thai Rock in Wetherill Park, and two are under investigation. Eight are returned travellers in hotel quarantine.
There are now two cases linked to the Thai Rock Restaurant at Potts Point after a diner who visited the restaurant on July 17 tested positive last week.
A staff member has now also become a confirmed case and investigations to date have not identified links between cases at the two restaurants.
The staff member is not included in the three cases linked to Thai Rock Wetherill Park on Monday.
NSW Health directed anyone who attended the Potts Point restaurant for more than two hours between July 15 and July 25 to get tested and self-isolate for 14 days since they were last there, regardless of symptoms.
