The Hunter New England Health District is caring for 80 COVID cases in hospital, with five people in intensive care.
No one has passed away in the latest reporting period.
It's not clear how many of the State's 9,849 cases are in the Hunter.
NSW Health says it will no longer provide an in-depth daily update on the figures.
The Department will provide a statewide tally, however, though cases and deaths will not be broken down by health district.
