\"The NSW Government has been granted an additional 500 Australian Defence Force personnel to be brought into Sydney as part of a tougher compliance operation to keep the state's continuing COVID-19 situation in check.\
\
7NEWS understands Police Minister David Elliott and NSW Police Commissioner Michael Fuller fronted the state's crisis cabinet on Wednesday to make the request, which was granted.\

\
They will join the 300 ADF troops who have already begun reinforcing the efforts of NSW Police across Sydney, patrolling and doorknocking in Sydney's west and southwest to ensure COVID-19 health orders are being observed in the hotspots where the virus is surging.\
\
Public health orders will also be strengthened to remove loopholes that allow travel outside of Sydney after a Rose Bay man travelled to Byron Bay while infected.\
\
Commissioner Fuller will be put in charge of overseeing the crackdown.\"\
