The state's hospitals continue to treat 174 coronavirus patients, 26 of them in intensive care units.
Health officials say COVID testers processed more than 62,000 results in the 24 hours to 8pm on Friday.
NSW is now 94.5 per cent single-dose immunised for everyone aged 16 or over, while 92.3 per cent of the same group are fully vaccinated.
Of the 12-15-year age group, 81.2 per cent have received one jab and 76.2 per cent both.
Should NSW reach its goal of 95 per cent full coverage by December 15, an early easing of restrictions will trigger, according to the state's roadmap out of lockdown.
Meanwhile, residents have been given an extra two vouchers to spend on food and entertainment.
They are the latest instalment in the government's Dine and Discover program, with each adult in NSW granted an additional $25 to spend on dining out and $25 to spend on entertainment.
More than $276 million worth of vouchers have already been spent by 4.8 million customers across the state during the pandemic, proving to be a lifeline for 15,000 businesses.
Changes were also made on Thursday to isolation requirements for close contacts at schools, with students no longer having to isolate for a full seven days.
Those who are close contacts of a positive case will be required to get a PCR test as soon as possible after being notified of exposure.
If negative, they may return to school immediately, so long as they provide negative Rapid Antigen Home Test results for the next seven days.
Treasurer Matt Kean says the government is "working through" whether parents will have to pay for the rapid antigen testing and "will be looking to make an announcement on that shortly".
