The removalists stopped at the following areas in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District:
- Gundagai Coles Express on Thursday July 8 from 1am to 1.30am
- Shell Jindera on Saturday July 10 from 11.15am to 11.45am
- Shell Hay on Saturday July 10 from 7.30am to 8am
Anyone who attended the Gundagai Coles Express or Shell Jindera during the relevant times is considered a close contact.
They must get tested immediately and isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result, and call 1800 943 553 unless they have already been contacted by NSW Health.
Anyone who attended the Shell Hay during the relevant time is considered a casual contact and must get tested and isolate until they receive a negative result.
Jindera-based Greater Hume Shire councillor Jenny O'Neill said it would have been a busy morning in town because Jindera's football-netball club was hosting Culcairn in the Hume league last Saturday.
It comes as Victoria tightened mask restrictions, with more changes expected to come today.
