NSW Health has ramped up its alert for people who have eaten out in Potts Point over the past week, after confirming a link between the Thai Rock and Apollo restaurant outbreaks.
Two people who have tested positive for COVID-19 dined at the Thai Rock restaurant and days later at the Apollo restaurant.
In a statement, NSW Health said it "now believes this links the two outbreaks".
The two new cases also visited the Cruising Yacht Club Australia (CYCA) in Rushcutters Bay, NSW Health said.
The yacht club has since been closed for deep cleaning.
NSW Health has now expanded its advice to ask anyone who visited the Apollo restaurant on July 22 to isolate and get tested, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not.
Previously, its alert ran July 23-25, asking people to self-isolate for 14 days.
The couple and a staff member of Apollo were confirmed as three new COVID-19 cases today by NSW Health.
It has also issued an alert over the following dates for anyone who attended the CYCA:
- Thursday, July 23 between 6:00pm and 7:30pm
- Friday, July 24 between 3:30pm and 5pm
- Sunday, July 26 between 4:00pm and 5:30pm
It comes as reports of cases in the Potts Point area continue to grow.
Earlier on Tuesday NSW Health reported a confirmed COVID-19 case among someone who attended the Fitness First gym on July 20.
A number of bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood have either closed as a precaution for cleaning, or reverted to takeaway.
