NSW Police will use number plate recognition technology and cameras to ensure people adhere to social distancing measures over the Easter long weekend.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said while it might be disappointing for people to stay at home, police will be out patrolling highways, country roads and caravan parks in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus.

"We will be going through caravan parks early, issuing warnings to people that may think they can get around these laws," Commissioner Fuller said on Wednesday.

"People will be given one opportunity to pack up, go back to your home state and go back home. Otherwise, we will, unfortunately, have to issue tickets."
