NSW has recorded eight new local coronavirus cases in the latest reporting period, all linked to known clusters.

Of those eight announced on Sunday, two are connected to household contacts of a case linked to the Avalon cluster, five are related to the Berala cluster and one is a household contact of a known source.

Three further cases were detected in returned travellers hotel quarantine and 18,923 tests were reported.

Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant revealed the results of genomic testing on the Berala cluster, which has grown to 13 cases, showing that it is linked to the patient transport driver and not the Avalon cluster.

"We have been dealing with two different strains that have been causing clusters. We had a family group who had returned from overseas and were transported to a health facility," she said.

Dr Chant said contact tracing had found that one of the patient transport workers acquired COVID-19 and passed it on to a colleague, who visited the BWS store at Berala "for a fleeting period of time," showing that transmission at the store had occurred.

"This assists us greatly… it means we have less missing links."

NSW Health has revised its advice for those who attended the BWS store on Woodburn Rd at Berala between Tuesday 22 December and Thursday 31 December inclusive.

Dr Chant said 2000 people had already been contacted in relation to the location and that more would follow.

It comes as greater Sydney residents will have to wear masks in some public indoor spaces from Sunday, with a $200 fine for those caught flouting the new rules from Monday.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Saturday said it would be compulsory to wear a mask in a number of settings including shopping centres, public transport, attending an entertainment venue such as a cinema, places of worship, hair and beauty salons and gaming areas of establishments. Staff at hospitality venues will also have to wear a mask.
