NSW Police said there have been two significant breaches in the last 48 hours from people travelling into the state from Victoria who are required to self-isolate.
Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys said officers carried out around 700 inspections in the last 48 hours checking on people instructed to be in quarantine.
One of the breaches was a man from the Riverina region who returned from Victoria was found twice breaching self-isolation who was fined.
Mr Worboys said "the time for excuses is over".
He said NSW Police will track anyone down not complying with self-isolation orders.
"Police will be relentless. It's not just about a knock on the door and if we cant find the person then forgetting about it.
"In fact it increases our willingness to go back to make further inquiries.
"Particularly some our country locations where police can easily find out where people work, where people live, where they go to, and people need to take this seriously."
It comes as NSW recorded just seven new cases of coronavirus and a record 36,169 tests were carried out in the past 24 hours.
Six cases are linked to the Thai Rock restaurant cluster in Wetherill Park, and one is still under investigation.
