NSW Health issued several health alerts tonight for venues in Wollongong, the nearby suburb of Figtree and Mona Vale on the northern beaches.
Anyone who attended the following venues at the listed times must get tested immediately and self-isolate until they receive further advice from NSW Health:
St Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church, Wollongong on Sunday December 27 between 9:00am and 10:15am
The Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church, Wollongong on Sunday December 27 between 10:30am and 11:00am
The Wollongong case had visited Sydney but has no obvious links to the growing cluster on the Northern Beaches.

The cluster is now at 129 cases but with positive cases growing outside of the Northern Beaches, Ms Berejiklian warned that the risk in Greater Sydney “is becoming almost equal” to that of the Northern Beaches.
“The risks and Greater Sydney and greater New South Wales is almost as high as the southern bit of the Northern Beaches,” Ms Berejiklian said.
