A 14th resident of the Newmarch House aged care home in western Sydney has died after becoming infected with COVID-19.
The Anglicare-run nursing home confirmed the death on Sunday morning.
"This is a very sad time for the family and a distressing and challenging time for residents and staff as we deal with the impact of this dreadful virus," Anglicare said in a statement on Sunday.
The latest death comes as the NSW government announced on Sunday it will be further easing coronavirus restrictions with onsite property auctions and inspections to recommence after a six-week shutdown.
The changes will be implemented from next weekend with real estate agents urged to limit the number of people viewing properties and attending auctions and to follow stringent cleaning guidelines including ensuring people don't touch surfaces.
Social distancing should also be adhered to.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said these measures were vital to ensure the safety of customers, property owners and real estate agents.
NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the relaxing of restrictions was a sign of the ongoing success in limiting the spread of COVID-19, but warned there was no place for complacency.
Meanwhile, Anglicare chief executive Grant Millard said the organisation will raise the possibility of extracting residents from its Newmarch facility.
Two staff members of the nursing home near Penrith were among the five new COVID-19 cases in NSW confirmed on Saturday.
There have been some 63 cases related to transmission at the aged care home, including 26 staff.
NSW Health has deployed two infection control nurses to the facility to review its procedures.
"We've clearly seen transmission that on the surface looks like there's been breaches of infection control amongst particularly the staff," NSW chief medical officer Dr Kerry Chant said.
"And that's obviously a concern. There are have been some elements where consistent application of infection control practice has not occurred."
Mr Hazzard defended the staff who had spread infection, saying dealing with the virus was "like almost going to the moon".
But he conceded there had been breaches of health protocols.
"It only takes a moment. Our doctors are highly trained, but like everybody else you can make a mistake."
Mr Millard said the use of personal protective equipment was foreign to a lot of people and acknowledged "there have been some failings" at the facility.
When asked whether Anglicare would remove some residents from the aged care home, Mr Millard said the option would be brought up with residents.
"This is something that we're going to raise with residents in our communication shortly," Mr Millard said.
NSW Labor leader Jodi McKay called on the government to give all Newmarch House residents, even ones who were healthy, the option of being moved to the public hospital system.
The four new cases confirmed on Sunday plays Saturday's five cases takes the number of confirmed cases in NSW to 3035.
