Shoppers warned to limit outings with supermarkets visited by more confirmed COVID-19 cases
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said while the two main places where the virus continued to spread were "workplaces and also in households", retail stores were emerging as a growing source of transmission.
"We're finding that when people are going to buy their groceries or going to the pharmacist or other critical retail or other critical workplaces that, unfortunately, the disease is spreading," she said.
"We're also noticing now workers and patrons are picking up the disease and taking it home to their families."
NSW Health last night was forced to quash social media reports that supermarkets were going to close for four days next week.
"NSW Health can confirm this is not the case, and reminds people to only use trusted and credible sources for information on COVID-19," a spokesperson said in a statement.
The list of supermarkets associated with confirmed COVID cases is continuing to grow, with Woolworths at Belrose in Sydney's north-east flagged by health officials.
NSW Health said confirmed COVID cases were there for up to 65 hours over eight days between July 10-21.
Anyone who visited at particular times is considered a close contact and must get tested and isolate for 14 days regardless of their result.
