Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barliaro previously acknowledged delays in reporting COVID-19 information in a timely manner.
"It's very complex, [contact tracers] also have to investigate and we have cases at the moment where individuals aren't cooperative," he said.
"They don't give us information and it is difficult for us to put any information out.
"I accept that sometimes the information is not timely but it's difficult for many reasons."
Across NSW, 1259 people tested positive for COVID-19 and more than 137,000 people were tested in the 24 hours up until September 14, 8 pm.
