An 83-year-old man has died from COVID-19 at an aged care facility in western Sydney, taking the state's virus toll to 36.
The man was a resident at Anglicare Newmarch House in Cadden and is the sixth death at the facility.
The facility is the state's largest ongoing cluster, with some 31 of the 100 or so residents having been infected as well as 17 staff members.
Earlier, an aged care worker at healthcare facility in the Blue Mountains tested positive, one of twelve new cases in NSW.
Almost 6,700 cases have now been recorded nationwide, a relatively modest increase on the 6,565 a week ago. At the peak of the crisis at the end of March, cases were rising by over 200 a day.

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard described the virus as "cagey", "energetic" and "sneaky", and urged members of the public to continue adhering to social distancing restrictions.
"If people become too relaxed or complacent, the virus can take off," he told reporters in Sydney.
"We know we're doing well, but don't let it lull you into a false sense of security."
Victoria has recorded just three new cases to a total of 1,346.
Fourteen of these have been connected to Albert Road Clinic, a private 80-bed psychiatric facility run by Ramsay Health Care.
Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the clinic had effectively been shut down.
Anyone who attended on or after 24 March is at risk of developing COVID-19.
In Queensland, two new cases brought the total to 1,026, while in Western Australian there was only one new case bringing the state's total to 549.
In the ACT, cases rose by one to 106, while in South Australia there were no new cases for a third day in a row, keeping the total at 438.
Social distancing measures meant Anzac Day services were either viewed on television, through social media channels or commemorated on the drives of people's homes.
The televised dawn service at the Australia War Memorial in Canberra was reduced to a small number of dignitaries, including Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Governor-General David Hurley, New Zealand High Commissioner Dame Annette King and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese.
Meanwhile, federal Health Minister Greg Hunt has knocked back the offer of protective medical masks at inflated prices from Wuhan, China, the starting point of the virus.
"What we offered and were able to secure was longer-term contracts for volume and time, not one-off inflated purchases," he told Nine newspapers.
The minister said that early in the spread of virus, a procurement team together with high level diplomatic efforts had locked in supply lines of masks, test kits and ventilators.
In the private sector the huge increase in demand has led to claims of profiteering, with prices for N95 masks rising sharply.
