'The store has undergone a deep clean and will be safe for customers to return to,' he wrote.

Mr Lalich also warned that a person who tested positive for coronavirus had visited a doctors surgery in Cabramatta, western Sydney, on Friday. 

Anyone who visited the Family Practice on John St has been urged to self-isolate, monitor their symptoms and seek testing. 

'The Practice is now undertaking a deep clean and will be closed for some time,' Mr Lalich said.  

The news comes after New South Wales recorded just one new coronavirus case on Friday despite conducting over 32,500 tests.   

NSW Health have also doubled the state’s list of identified hotspot areas, on top of the existing warnings for City of Sydney east, Parramatta, Cumberland, Canterbury Bankstown, Campbelltown, Fairfield and Liverpool LGAs.

The new additions include the entire Newcastle area, Woollahra LGA, Hornsby and The Hills LGA as well as Guildford and Merrylands.
