NSW health authorities confirmed seven cases on Sunday - all linked to Sydney's Northern Beaches, bringing the total from the cluster to 122 cases.

'We're obviously doing some work to cross-check whether anyone attends the Belrose and also the RSL,' she said.

'We're also asking the community to come forward for testing to help us and find these missing links but at the moment, I do not want to speculate.' 

There were 24,000 people tested in the 24 hours up to 8pm on Saturday. 

One new case, a household contact, has also been linked to the Rose of Australia Hotel in Erskineville, in Sydney's inner-west.
