Ms Berejiklian announced a lockdown for four local government areas in Sydney, including the CBD.
People who live and work in Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick and the City of Sydney are now subject to a stay-at-home order.
That will be in place for a week, until next Friday.
“You need to stay at home unless absolutely necessary,” she said.
“The necessary reasons include – if you can’t work from home and you have to work outside of home.
