An apartment block in western Sydney has been added to the city’s relentlessly growing coronavirus exposure list as well as several venues in Newcastle. 

Just as the fresh list of close and casual contact sites were published on Monday night, the NSW Health website briefly crashed as 47 new sites were added. 

The close contact sites were released on social media, including the Astina Apartments in Penrith which were exposed over three days.

The Air Locker Training gym in Newcastle West is also on alert after an infected person went there for two workouts, as well as a Subway in nearby Warners Bay.

The Wests in New Lambton is also on alert, with the Leagues clubs’ gaming, main bar and smoking area all affected. 

Anyone who attended the close contact sites have been urged to get tested and isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result. 

Six Coles have been added to the ever-expanding list of high-risk sites, including a branch in Green Valley which has been exposed to the virus over ten days. 

Three Woolworths have also been put on high alert with a popular branch in Gosford, an hour from Sydney’s CBD also making the list. 

 

More to follow.
