Of the new cases reported on Friday, 53 were infectious in the community. An 89-year-old man has also died from the virus overnight. 

The new cases surpass the record 124 infections that were announced on Thursday.  

The figure prompted Gladys Berejiklian to not only announce an extension of work travel restrictions to parts of Sydney but admit that lockdown would likely not end on July 30. 

Instead, Sydneysiders could be forced to live with restrictions for as long as October.

'There is no doubt that the numbers are not going in the direction we were hoping they would at this stage,' she said. 

'It is fairly apparent that we will not be close to ending next Friday.'  

Several chemists and pharmacies have been listed as exposure sites including the Chemist Warehouse stores in Dee Why, in Sydney's northern beaches and in Liverpool, in the city's west. 

Anyone who attended these sites are listed as casual contacts and must only isolate until they receive a negative test result. 

The KFC in Marulan, NSW was also exposed to the virus on Tuesday July 20 from 1.30pm to 1.50pm. Anyone who visited the restaurant during these times must isolate for 14 days regardless of a Covid test result

Meanwhile in Ashfield, in the city's inner west, a Woolworths, Aldi and the Ashfield Mall have also been put on alert for shoppers on Saturday July 17.

Several venues were also listed in another Covid hotspot of Fairfield, in Sydney's west. 

These include a Coles and Aldi supermarket, the Fairfield Fruitland store and a kebab shop. 

NSW is now considered to be in the midst of a 'national emergency'.

Travel restrictions have been extended to the Cumberland and Blacktown local government areas with workers now prohibited from leaving their suburb unless their job is essential. 

Suburbs impacted by the tougher restrictions include Merrylands, Greystanes and Guildford.     

'I have advised the government today that this is a national emergency, and requires additional measures to reduce the case number,' Chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said.

'What we are seeing, is that the actions we have taken to date have averted many cases, but what we are not seeing is the turnaround that we would have liked to see at this stage.' 

 The staggering number of cases prompted Dr Chant to call for vaccination efforts to be ramped up across the community.

Of the new cases, 77 are linked to known clusters while 59 are being investigated to determine the source of infection.

There are 137 people being treated in hospital of which 32 people are intensive care and 14 are on ventilation. 

More to come.
