Organisers of Sydney's Royal Easter Show say it has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It comes after the Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the cancellation of non-essential mass gatherings of more than 500 people from Monday.

The show was due to begin on April 3 and more than 800,000 people were expected to attend the 12-day event.

Organisers are expected to make further comment shortly.

New South Wales today reported its biggest daily jump in coronavirus cases, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the state to 92.

Fourteen new cases were diagnosed, including at least seven people who have recently returned from international travel.

An aged-care worker, who has been in contact with other confirmed cases, was also infected.

Authorities say one passenger travelled on Emirates flights on Sunday, March 8 and they are looking to contact passengers seated nearby.

More to come.
