Covid spreads north: Five people from a house on the Central Coast test positive to the virus, sparking a list of exposure sites 100km from Sydney
Five people from a home on the New South Wales Central Coast have tested positive to Covid-19, sparking a long list of about 25 new exposure sites 100km north of Sydney.
NSW Health confirmed on Monday night that the new infections were all from the same house in Budgewoi, but authorities are concerned about two close contacts who were also living under the same roof.
Lake Macquarie MP, Greg Piper, said the two contacts have tested negative, but one visited 25 shops in five days when they should have been isolating.

'I simply cannot describe that situation, but let's settle on mind blowing and disappointing,' he said.
The positive cases have been transferred to the Special Health Accommodation in Sydney to isolate throughout their infectious period.
Queues for testing centres in Wyong spanned several kilometres on Monday, with one person claiming they waited five hours.
A six-page-long list of exposure sites includes a host of venues on the NSW Central Coast, including shopping centres in Tuggerah and San Remo in the region's north, through to Sydney's south-west.
Northlakes Shopping Centre was visited by an infected case for five consecutive days between July 21-25 at specific times each day

Tax office H & R Block in Toukley was added to the list between 1.40pm and 2.15pm, with all visitors ordered to get tested and isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result.
A number of casual contact sites were on the NSW Central Coast, including several venues at Westfield Tuggarah, including Dan Murphy's, Coles and Smokemart.
Also listed are San Remo's Northlakes Shopping Centre and Lake Haven Shopping Centre.
