Anyone who was at the bowling centre between 11am and 3pm on June 27, or the club between 11pm and 1am on July 4, is being urged to self-isolate and get tested.
Hundreds of NSW residents have already been forced into 14-day isolation after an alleged cluster of cases centred around the Crossroads Hotel at Casula.
A spokesperson from the Australian Border Force (ABF), confirmed that staff employed at the Villawood Immigration Detention Centre are self-quarantining and following advice from NSW Health after visiting the hotel, but did not confirm whether any detainees would be tested.
Also awaiting test results after his parents visited Crossroads this month, is Bulldogs centre Jake Averillo who won’t be able to train or play with his teammates until at least July 19.
A NSW Health spokesperson said it was essential people took the risk of transmission “very seriously” and urged anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms – including a cough, sore throat, shortness of breath or fever – to self-isolate and arrange to be tested as soon as possible.
