Those six cases make up the new detections across the Western NSW Local Health District on Monday.

The Western NSW LHD says the Orange case is a household contact of a previous case.

Two of the Bathurst cases have been identified as household contacts of previous cases too, while two others have been identified as otherwise linked to previous cases and one case remains under investigation.

The new case in Orange follows a weekend where a public school in the city was forced to close its doors for a deep clean after a member of the school community tested positive to the virus.

Bowen Public School is closed on Monday but is expected to reopen on Tuesday, with the Department of Education having the school cleaned.

There have been no new cases recorded in Blayney or Cabonne Local Government Areas, and there are currently no active cases in either area.

There's currently 19 cases being managed in the Orange LGA, while the recent outbreak in Bathurst has bumped up their current case number to 29.

There's been 19 new cases identified in Bathurst in the last five days.

There was one patient admitted to hospital across the health district, while there is currently no one in ICU with COVID-19.

In some good news, there were six patients discharged from the COVID Care in the Community (CCiC) program.

Across NSW there was 294 fresh COVID cases recorded and four deaths in the most recent 24-hour period.

NSW Health confirmed the numbers, which closely match Sunday's update.

There were 59,612 tests conducted in the 24 hours to 8pm on Sunday.

In the preceding 24 hours the state detected 296 fresh cases, with most coming from Sydney and the Hunter New England health district.

The deaths take the toll of the NSW outbreak that began in August to more than 500 people.

There are 474 people in hospital across the state with COVID-19 and 116 require intensive care.

84.8 per cent of the state's adult population is double vaccinated, with first doses at 93 per cent.

There were no new overseas cases in the numbers announced on Monday.
