The list of Sydney venues visited by an infectious COVID-19 patient has grown further to include a golf club, a gym, a chemist and a supermarket.

NSW health on Wednesday night expanded the health alert to almost 20 venues and revealed fragments of the coronavirus had been detected in the Marrickville sewage network, servicing about 42,000 people.

Authorities urged residents of Dulwich Hill, Marrickville, Summer Hill, Lewisham, Ashfield, Haberfield, Petersham, Lilyfield and Leichhardt to be “especially vigilant” in monitoring for systems and getting tested.

The man, aged in his 50s, had been “very active in the community” before he tested positive to the virus, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklin said. He visited a cafe in Paddington, an optometrist in the city, a cinema and four barbeque stores over the weekend.

Then on Tuesday, he spent time in Brookvale, Collaroy, Balgowlah and Double Bay, visiting a chemist, supermarket, rug cleaning business and two homewares shops.

The man, who authorities said hadn’t returned from overseas, worked in border roles or interacted with the hospital system, used QR codes to check in and out of venues, making contact tracing easier.

“This person did everything right, but it goes to show we can’t take anything for granted,” NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

The man was initially tested on Tuesday but thought to have been infectious since Friday, April 30.

Health Minister Brad Hazzard said it was “a very clear reminder” of the risk of coronavirus remains.

He urged residents to get tested regardless of whether they had been vaccinated or not.

“People in the eastern suburbs particularly should be listening to these messages and getting tested,” Mr Hazzard said.
