Sydney's CBD is a virtual ghost town after workers were ordered to work from home once again after infections numbers rose on the weekend

Sydney, Wollongong, the Blue Mountains, Shellharbour and the Central Coast are two days in to a 14-day lockdown.

Residents or anyone who has worked in Sydney in the last two weeks are only allowed to leave home to shop for food or other essential goods and services; to give medical care or compassionate needs, exercise outdoors with a maximum of ten people, or essential work or education.

Masks must be worn at all indoor public venues, while hospitality and pubs are only permitted to stay open to serve takeaway.

Households will not be allowed to have any visitors, although there are exceptions for intimate partners that don't live with each other who are permitted to visit each other's homes.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said workers and students can only leave the house if they are unable to get educated or work from home.

Ms Berejiklian said about six of the state's new cases were in isolation for their entire infectious period, while more were isolated for part of the same period.

'Unfortunately some were active in the community. As Dr Kerry Chant has told us already, the cases we are seeing today are a reflection of what may have occurred in the previous week and obviously there is a lag time,' she told reporters on Monday.

Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said officials will need to wait 'at least another five days' to reap the benefits of lockdown.

'It is important the community understands that the numbers are not expected to decline for another five days,' she said.

Meanwhile, several other states are also dF30ealing with their own outbreaks with Western Australia introducing restrictions to the Perth and Peel region after a woman who travelled east contracted the highly contagious Delta strain.

Queensland and the Northern Territory are also battling two separate clusters prompting both governments to impose tougher Covid measures including mask mandates and caps on gatherings.
