NSW records no new cases of COVID-19 for the first time since the pandemic began.

There have been no new coronavirus infections recorded in NSW for the first time since the pandemic began.

As at 8pm Monday 11 May 2020, there have been no additional cases of COVID-19 diagnosed since 8pm 10 May.

This is the first time since 29 February there have been no new cases in NSW. The total number of cases remains at 3,053.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said it was a major milestone in the state's fight against the virus, but urged people not to be complacent.

"We know that there will be people walking around today in the community that will have the virus," she said.

"It's our job to make sure that we identify them so if you have the mildest symptoms, please come forward and get tested."

According to NSW health media release,  6,048 people were tested in the reporting period, compared to 5,258 people in the previous 24 hours. Nearly 316,000 people have now been tested for COVID-19 in NSW, which has one of the highest testing rates in the world.

NSW Deputy Chief Health Officer Jeremy McAnulty urged the community to take the threat of coronavirus seriously, despite the extraordinary result.

"We know the virus will be bubbling around beneath the surface in the community," Dr McAnulty said.

"Testing is really the key — we need to find every person who may have infection and we can only do that by people coming forward for testing.

"The enemy is complacency, if people drop their guard, think it's just a cold or the flu and that will be a mistake."

NSW will ease restrictions from Friday and  up to 10 people will be allowed in cafes and restaurants and outdoor gyms, pools and playgrounds will reopen.

Weddings will be allowed to have up to 10 guests, while funerals can accommodate up to 20 mourners indoors and 30 outdoors when stage-one restrictions are lifted on Friday.

Households can now welcome five people as guests, and up to 10 people will also be allowed to gather for religious services or at places of worship.

"The NSW Government will not be afraid to move more quickly to support business," she said.

"We want to work with industry to encourage them to put forward their plans so that we can get businesses and jobs going in NSW in a safe way."

"It's not because governments and politicians have made the right decisions, it's because the community has actually been respectful of the restrictions, respectful of one another and we have to keep that up."

There are currently 100 COVID-19 cases being treated by NSW Health. This includes eight people being treated in intensive care units. All eight require ventilators.

There are now 2,543 people who have recovered from COVID-19 in NSW.

NSW Health is urging people with symptoms, including mild symptoms, to be tested to ensure as many cases of COVID-19 in the community are identified as quickly as possible.

This is particularly important in several areas following the identification of locally acquired cases. The Canada Bay, Canterbury Bankstown, and Cumberland local government areas have been identified for further testing.
