NSW Health has upgraded advice for anyone who was in Westfield Bondi Junction (including the car park) on June 12 and June 13.

Now, anyone who was in that location at any stage on those days must get tested for COVID-19. Only people with symptoms and those in specific exposure venues at the listed times are asked to test and isolate.

People who do not have symptoms and have not been at the specific exposure venues at the listed times do not need to isolate, however everyone is strongly urged to avoid gatherings and minimise their movements, such as not attending the cinemas or trips to the ski fields. If you can work from home, please do so.

This broader surveillance testing will help NSW Health to determine the extent of potential transmission at Westfield Bondi Junction. Detecting any cases early is critical to prevent ongoing transmission.

NSW Health continues to ask people to wear masks in indoor settings.

Masks are mandatory on public transport in Greater Sydney and the Blue Mountains and this is now being extended to include the Wollongong and Shellharbour council areas from 4pm today.

In addition, masks will become mandatory in all public indoor venues in the City of Sydney, Waverley, Randwick, Canada Bay, Inner West, Bayside, and Woollahra local government areas.

These venues include retail, theatres, aged care facilities and for front-of-house hospitality staff.

NSW Health continues to remind people to avoid non-essential visits to aged care and disability facilities, but if visiting, wear a mask and limit visits to two people per day.

NSW Health's ongoing Sewage Surveillance Program has detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 at the Brooklyn sewage treatment plant.

The Brooklyn catchment serves about 1,000 people and covers suburbs including Dangar Island, Cowan, Brooklyn, Mooney Mooney, and Cheerio Point.

There was also another detection at the Camellia North and Camelia South pumping stations in Sydney's western suburbs. It follows a detection in the area on Friday 18 June.

The Camellia North and South catchments serve about 109,600 people and covers suburbs including Camellia, Harris Park, Granville, South Granville, Mays Hill, Merrylands, Merrylands West, North Parramatta, Parramatta, South Wentworthville, Westmead, Guildford West, Sydney Olympic Park, Newington, Holroyd, Clyde, Auburn, Old Guildford, Guildford, Silverwater, Rosehill, Rydalmere.

People who have recently recovered from COVID-19 may continue to shed virus fragments into the wastewater system for several weeks after they are no longer infectious.

NSW Health urges everyone in these areas to be especially vigilant for any cold like symptoms. If they appear, please immediately be tested and isolate until a negative result is received.

High testing numbers are vital in detecting cases of COVID-19, in order to prevent further transmission. NSW Health thanks the community for coming forward for testing, and urges anyone with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms to get tested without delay and isolate until a negative result is received. People in Sydney's eastern suburbs and the Wollongong area are asked to be especially vigilant for the onset of symptoms
