Urgent alert for 47 new Covid exposure sites across Sydney including a busy Coles, two Kmarts and ten public transport routes - so do you need to isolate?
Shoppers who visited nine busy supermarkets are among hundreds of Sydneysiders ordered to get tested and self-isolate immediately as New South Wales' list of Covid exposure sites grew by another 47 venues.
New South Wales Health said on Saturday the new exposure sites include major retailers Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and Kmart and the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse cancer treatment centre at Newtown.
The exposure sites update came after 163 new local Covid cases were announced for NSW on Saturday.
Coles at Hurstville was added to the list of close contact sites, meaning anyone who was there on Saturday July 10 between 12pm and 12.30pm needs to get a Covid test and isolate for 14 days regardless of the test result
NSW Health issued urgent warnings to isolate and get tested for people who took any one of nine separate North Shore buses
The death of a man was also announced, bringing the total number of Covid fatalities in NSW to 62.
Anyone who visited Coles at Hurstville Westfield on Saturday July 10 between 12pm and 12.30pm is considered a close contact.
That means they are urged to immediately get tested and self-isolate for 14 days regardless of their test result.
