NSW Health has revealed the removalists stopped at the following areas in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District:
- Gundagai Coles Express on Thursday July 8 from 1am to 1.30am
- Shell Jindera on Saturday July 10 from 11.15am to 11.45am
- Shell Hay on Saturday July 10 from 7.30am to 8am
NSW Health said all venues had comprehensive COVID-19 plans in place as well as Service NSW QR code check-in.
Anyone who attended the Gundagai Coles Express or Shell Jindera during the relevant times is considered a close contact.
They must get tested immediately and isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result, and call 1800 943 553 unless they have already been contacted by NSW Health.
Anyone who attended the Shell Hay during the relevant time is considered a casual contact and must get tested and isolate until they receive a negative result.
Contacts should continue to monitor for symptoms and if any symptoms occur, get tested again.
Even if you have not attended any of the exposure sites, people in the area should be vigilant.
"Anyone who lives or works in any of these areas is asked to be particularly vigilant for the onset of even the mildest of cold-like symptoms, and if they appear, to immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result is received," NSW Health said.
It comes as seven new cases of COVID were recorded in Victoria - six of which are linked to the removalists.
97 cases of COVID were recorded in NSW on Wednesday.
