There are currently 959 people in hospital with COVID in NSW, with 193 in intensive care, and 97 people on ventilators.

It comes as the state nears its vaccination target, with plans to further ease restrictions once 70 per cent of the eligible population has been inoculated.

As of midnight on Saturday, 88.4 per cent of the over 16 population had received a first dose and 67.1 per cent had received two doses.

Another Local Government Area (LGA) has entered lockdown, with Lismore residents to follow stay-at-home orders until at least October 11.

This also applies to anyone who has been in Lismore since September 28.

Outbreaks in Cowra, Muswellbrook and Port Macquarie are also being closely monitored, with more advice expected later on Monday.
