A lockdown in Sydney's northern beaches area will be extended for at least another week and a half after NSW recorded another five cases of community transmission of COVID-19.

Four of the new cases are linked to the so-called Avalon cluster, which now totals 126 cases.

The fifth case is linked to a previously reported case on the Northern Beaches whose source of infection is not yet linked to the Avalon cluster and is under investigation.
