Another daily Covid case record in NSW, as state's ambulance service is overwhelmed

And as pressure increases on the state's health services, there's been a desperate plea for residents not to call 000 unless absolutely necessary. Despite the daily case number growing by more than 1000, the state government has announced that weddings - although restricted - are back on.
