One of the new cases has been linked to the Oran Park cluster, in Sydney's south-west, and visited Bavarian Macarthur in Macarthur Square, 200 Gilchrist Dr, Campbelltown, on Saturday 10 October from 7pm to 9pm.

"Anyone who was inside the restaurant for an hour or more during this time is considered a close contact and must immediately get tested and isolate for 14 days and stay isolated for the entire period, even if a negative test result is received," NSW Health said in a statement.

"Anyone who dined outside the restaurant or was there for less than one hour is considered a casual contact and must monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if they develop. After testing, they must remain in isolation until a negative test result is received."

There is now a total of 4167 cases of coronavirus in NSW diagnosed since the beginning of the pandemic.
