The total was above Saturday's record of 825. Three more people died, bringing deaths to 71 in this outbreak of the highly transmissible Delta variant, which began in the state in mid-June.
There are 550 people admitted to hospital, with almost 100 of them in intensive care, New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard said.
