New South Wales police will enforce tough new COVID-19 regulations for the locked-down state after it recorded 415 new cases and four deaths on Sunday.

NSW Deputy Police Commissioner Mick Willing says from today, 1,400 Highway Patrol officers would be on patrol.

A test-and-isolate payment of $320 will also start this week for workers 17 and over who have symptoms of COVID-19 and live in government areas of concern.
