On Monday, she announced there had been 13 new cases of COVID-19 identified overnight in NSW, with three from overseas travellers and one from someone returning from Victoria.
"We're doing okay, we're holding the line, but the next few weeks will be very precarious," Ms Berejiklian said.
"We can't be complacent."
One of the new cases was not linked to any other known cases, while the other eight were linked to known clusters.
One case attended the Apollo Restaurant at Potts Point, one attended Advance Early Learning Childcare Centre Merrylands and one attended the Mounties Mount Pritchard.
Five others were close contacts of known cases, NSW Health said.
The health department also announced some venues in Newcastle had been put on high alert after a Sydney case who visited Newcastle on July 29 and 30 while infectious.
NSW Health is urging anyone who visited the following Hotel Jesmond on July 29 between 7.30-9.30pm, and Wallsend Diggers JUly 30 between 7.30-9.30pm to strictly isolate at home for 14 days and get tested regardless of symptoms, but remain in isolation for the full 14 days even if the test is negative.
Additionally, they said a person who was infectious with COVID-19 attended Fitness First at Rockdale on July 27 from 11.25am to 12.30pm, and a person who was infectious attended a yoga studio in Bondi on July 23 from 12.15-1.15pm.
Both cases are associated with the Apollo Restaurant cluster at Potts Point and were previously counted in the public health alert. Close and casual contacts have been individually identified.
There are now 101 cases associated with Thai Rock Wetherill Park cluster, 58 cases associated with the Crossroads Hotel cluster and 35 cases associated with the funeral events in Bankstown and surrounding suburbs, including eleven associated with Mounties in Mount Pritchard.
There are 26 cases associated with the Potts Point cluster, including 20 cases linked to the Apollo Restaurant cluster and 6 cases linked with the Thai Rock Restaurant Potts Point cluster (two cases attended both).
