The premier said on Tuesday the trend in the past 48 hours was encouraging however there was still potential for a surge in cases.
The state's outbreak which began on June 16 now stands at 149 community cases.
Nine of Tuesday’s 19 cases were infectious in the community.
The four council areas most vulnerable
Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said she hoped this number would significantly drop in the coming days due to the lockdown.
She highlighted the four local government areas that were initially placed into lockdown, stressing those who have entered those areas in the previous two weeks must be extra vigilant for symptoms.
"We are particularly wanting to focus on workers or regular visitors to those local government areas of Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick and City of Sydney.
"Clearly, during that period there was the chance that you may have inadvertently come into contact with someone who is positive, or there may well have been missing links, missing cases in that area."
