It is the sixth consecutive days with no new cases.
There was one overseas acquired case, bringing the total number of COVID cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,895.
There were 11,343 tests reported to 8pm on Friday night, down from 17,431 in the previous 24-hour cycle.
NSW Health's sewage surveillance program recently detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID at two more sewage treatment plants - Liverpool and Glenfield.
NSW Health is treating 79 COVID cases, none of whom are in intensive care.
Most cases (96 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.
NSW Health continued to urge people across the state to come forward for testing with the mildest of symptoms.
"High testing rates are necessary to give confidence that no cases are going undetected in the community," said a statement.
"Everyone who gets tested is playing an important role in helping to contain the spread of COVID-19."
