All of NSW remains in lock down and is facing enhanced police compliance measures as authorities battle to contain the spread of the virulent Delta strain.

There were 644 new local cases in the 24 hours to 8pm yesterday but two were acquired in the ACT and are isolating in southern NSW.

Of those cases, the isolation status of more than 500 remain under investigation.
