Earlier, shoppers who attended a suburban Aldi supermarket in northwestern Sydney have been told to isolate and get a test, after a positive case visited the store late last week.

In an urgent alert sent out on Monday evening, NSW Health authorities identified the Rydalmere Aldi as a close contact exposure site.

Anyone who attended the Aldi on Victoria Road on Thursday July 1 between 8am and 3pm, and on Friday July 2 between 2pm and 8.30pm has been told to get a test and isolate for fourteen days.

Authorities also flagged a nightclub in Bossley Park as a close contact exposure site, and urged anyone who attended the club to get tested and isolate for 14 days.

A positive case visited the club, Club Marconi, on June 26 between 2pm and 8:30pm and on June 26 between 10am and 6pm.

It comes after guests of a hotel in Sydney’s inner city were put on red alert after three positive Covid-19 cases were linked to a party held at the venue.

NSW Health has ordered anyone who has been at Meriton Suites at 30 Danks St in Waterloo between 7pm on Saturday, June 26 and 8am on Monday, July 5 to immediately get tested and isolate until receiving further advice.

That includes guests, staff and contractors who were on any level of the building over the past nine days.

Chief health officer Kerry Chant said authorities were “looking closely” at a gathering held there on June 26, just hours after stay-at-home orders came into effect.

Earlier on Sunday, NSW Health officials reissued an alert for a Gold Coast to Sydney flight after multiple Covid-19 infections were recorded among passengers.

The flight is:

• VA524 (Virgin), Saturday June 26, Gold Coast at 1.26pm to Sydney at 2.47pm.

“NSW Health wishes to alert passengers who flew from the Gold Coast to Sydney on a previously announced Virgin flight, as multiple people have tested positive for Covid-19 since travelling on this flight,” an alert read.

“All passengers are considered close contacts and must be vigilant in monitoring for symptoms and remaining in isolation for the full 14 days, regardless of their results.”

In a statement, a Virgin Australia spokesman said NSW had confirmed “additional” positive results among passengers.

But he said that the origin of the transmission remained unknown.

“The origin of transmission is unknown and investigations on whether there is a link to the previously announced COVID-19 positive cases on this flight are ongoing,” he said.

“All passengers and Virgin Australia crew who were on this flight are already in isolation and the operating aircraft was immediately deep cleaned following confirmation of the first COVID-19 positive case last week.

“Virgin Australia continues to work closely with NSW Health, the National Incident Room and other health authorities as required.”

In its Covid-19 hotspot list on Sunday, NSW Health also deemed anyone who had been at the following venues a close contact of a positive infection, meaning they have to isolate for 14 days.
