The infection is just one of three new cases reported on Wednesday following a 12-day stint with no community transmission.

Three businesses in Penrith in Sydney's west have also been put on alert.

Those who attended Penrith Homemaker Centre from 11am to 1pm on Sunday should get tested as well as those who went to Guzman y Gomez between 1:30pm and 2pm.

The last location on alert is Castle Towers Shopping Centre in the city's north west, where an infected person shopped for an hour from 12pm to 1pm on Monday. 

The state health department is 'concerned' that testing numbers have dropped and is encouraging increased testing across Sydney.

NSW Health said it is 'especially important for people across West and South West Sydney' to get tested since the new cases are located there.

There were another three were from overseas travellers in hotel quarantine, bringing the Wednesday's total to six.
