The Hunter has recorded its fifth Covid-related death in the current outbreak, with a Lake Macquarie man in his 40's dying on Monday.
News Limited reports Hunter New England Health has confirmed the Arcadia Vale man, who was not vaccinated, was found dead in his home after contracting the virus last week.
He was receiving care in the community from Hunter New England Health.
The death has prompted a warning from health officials for anyone who is isolating in the community with COVID-19 to call an ambulance if their condition deteriorates, including the onset of breathlessness or dizziness.
The death will be included in Wednesday's official figures from NSW Health.
