A huge new list of Covid exposure sites in Sydney has been revealed, including two McDonald's, Aldi, Coles and Kmart.

The exposed venues come as New South Wales recorded 77 new infections on Sunday, with the three-week-long lockdown likely to be extended.

It is the largest surge of daily cases in the state since the first outbreak in March 2020. 

Among the most concerning new venues are those inside the usually-packed Broadway Shopping Centre in Glebe, where a Harvey Norman, Aldi, Coles, JB HiFi, Liquorland and Kmart were all visited by an infected person. 

Thirty-five venues including several Kmart stores were added to NSW Health's ballooning Covid exposure site list on Sunday night after the state recorded 77 new infections

Four of the new sites are Tier one venues, meaning anyone who visited at the times of concerns are considered close contacts and must get tested immediately and isolate for 14 days regardless of the result. 

In Kogarah, they include President Ave Fruit World on Monday 5 July between 11am to 11.15am, the Commonwealth Bank on the same day from 3.05pm to 3.35pm, and Supreme Pizaa on Tuesday 6 July from 3pm to 10pm.

The same advice applied to anyone who visited Greenacre Medical Practice on Monday 5 July between 11.40 to 1.50pm and Tuesday 6 July from 12.40pm to 1.45pm. 

Another 31 venues across Sydney were added to the list as casual contact sites on Sunday night as the city's outbreak shifts from the eastern suburbs to the south west.  

Two Coles stores - one in Pyrmont and another in Fairfield - were added as casual contact sites on Sunday 

Thousands of residents who visited the locations at the times of concerns are advised to immediately get tested and isolate until a negative result is received. 

In the inner-city, Pyrmont venues include Bar Zini on Wednesday 7 July from 1pm to 1.15pm and Thursday 8 July from 10am to 10.15am, and Jumbo Thai on the same Thursday from 6.30pm to 7pm. 

The local Coles was also affected on Friday 2 July between 6.30pm to 7pm, Tuesday 6 July from 1.45pm to 2pm, and Thursday 8 July from 10.30am to 1.50am. 

In the inner-west, six stores inside Glebe's popular Broadway shopping centre became close contact sites over the past week, as well as nearby Budget Petrol in Chippendale on Thursday 8 July between 6.30pm to 7.00pm. 

Five of the stores inside the Bay Street plaza were exposed on Thursday 8 July, including Harvey Norman (11.40am - 12.10pm), Kmart (12.15pm-12.30pm), Aldi (12.20pm -1pm), Coles (11.45am-1.30pm) and JB Hi Fi (2pm - 2.45pm). 

The JB HI FI was also exposed on Sunday 4 July from 12pm to 12.30pm, while the Liquorland was impacted on the same day from 2.30pm  to 3.00pm.  

New South Wales recorded 77 new local Covid-19 cases and one death, with a warning that cases of the highly-infectious Delta variant are likely to be above 100 over the coming days.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said in her daily press conference on Sunday that 33 of the cases were out in the community while infectious.

A 90-year-old unvaccinated woman also died after contracting the virus 'within the home setting'. 

'I want to extend my deepest condolences to their families and loved ones,' Ms Berejiklian said. 

She is the first person to die in Sydney's outbreak since it began on June 16 and the 57th casualty in the state over the whole pandemic.  

The premier warned the figure was likely to keep rising before it fell down again, with more than 100 cases expected on Monday.   

The severity of the outbreak has prompted the federal government to launch a Covid-19 safety advertisement that will air on Sydney TV screens from tonight. 

Chief medical officer Paul Kelly described it as 'graphic' and said it would contain three important messages: 'Stay-at-home, get tested and booked in for a vaccination.' 

NSW Chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said the 'vast majority' of cases were identified in southwest Sydney - which has recently been targeted by police with extra officers deployed to monitor lockdown compliance. 

'I need to give frank advice that the case numbers in south-western Sydney are extraordinarily high,' she said. 

'We know transmission is going through households, from household to household.' 

The highly-infectious nature of the Delta variant also prompted the chief health officer to urge residents to get their two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine six weeks apart - instead of waiting the recommended three months. 

'While the interval was three months, at this time because the case numbers are high, we want people to come forward and get vaccinated around that six-week mark,' she said.

'We know that for the Delta variant you need the two doses so by calling people to get a second dose, we might sacrifice a bit of long-term protection but we're making sure you're protected earlier and at this time, that's the strategy we'd suggest.'  

More than 50 of the 77 new cases were identified as close contacts of Covid-19 positive cases. 

'I've spent a lot of my working life in south-western Sydney and I appreciate the strengths of the family. It's wonderful to see,' Dr Chant said.

'But at this time, those close connections between family groups is actually so detrimental to achieving a public health outcome. 

'So what we're finding is that we're having to strengthen, you know, strengthen the messaging to get it really clear that... your household is your family group.' 

Professor Kelly said the latest figures were a cause of 'concern'. 

'There are some concerning signs thereabout still a large proportion of those over 70 cases today in New South Wales had been in the community while infectious,' he said.

'The pleasing part is that the majority of those 77 cases were close contacts of known cases and the New South Wales authorities are continuing to do an extraordinary job at chasing down those chains of transmission and making sure they get to those quickly, doing rapid testing, getting those results and taking any action that is required.' 

There were more than 48,000 Covid-19 tests conducted within the last 24 hours. 

Ms Berejiklian reminded Sydneysiders to obey lockdown orders after they were tightened with residents ordered to wear face masks in apartment buildings and everyone outside of Sydney banned from coming in.  

She would not clarify if the lockdown would be extended and would wait to see how the Covid-19 outbreak developed before making any decision. 

Home schooling may also be extended beyond next week to avoid 'hundreds of thousands of people leaving home at the same time'.  

The federal government is holding regular conversations with the state government to discuss ongoing support for businesses if a lockdown is extended.

They are likely to announce further assistance packages and investigate bolstering mental health support services. 

Professor Kelly said he was in close contact with Dr Chant and providing continued support. 

'It is very practical support that is happening from the Commonwealth in relation to the situation in Sydney,' he said.

'That includes because that is a Commonwealth designated hot spot, there is funding available for aged care, for example, in terms of single site worker payments, there is the disaster, the COVID disaster payment which is also available now for people who are eligible in Sydney.' 

Dr Chant warned it would be some time before the lockdown would have its intended impact and reduce case numbers. 

'I think it's going to be a number of days before we turn around,' she said. 

'And to some extent, we're trying... The numbers might actually increase because we're ramping up testing to get ahead of the transmission curve.'

There are 52 patients being treated in hospital with 15 in intensive care and five on ventilators. 

Of the 15 people in ICU, one is in their teens, one is in their 20s, one is in their 30s, one is in their 40s, three are in their 50s, five are in their 60s, two two are in their 70s and one is in their 80s. 

NSW Police said 106 infringement notices had been issued in just 24 hours, including five men who were caught playing cards at a house in Marrickville and ten people who attended an 18th birthday party in Auburn.
