Several businesses in Wagga and Young have this week been declared sites of concern in the wake of an essential worker passing spending a number of days in both towns before being diagnosed with COVID-19.

The Mantra Pavilion was added to NSW Health's venues of concern late on Thursday evening, as was a motel in Young.

NSW Health advises the central Wagga hotel is a casual contact site and anyone who was at the venue, located at 22-30 Kincaid Street, over two days early in the month must get tested and self-isolate until they receive a negative result.

MORE COVID NEWS:

The days of concern are all day on Thursday, September 2, and all day on Friday, September 3.

More recent visitors should also follow further precautions, get secondary testing and limit their interactions.

"If your date of exposure occurred in the last four days, you must get another test on day five from the date of exposure," NSW Health advised on its website.

"Wear a mask around others and limit your movements until you get another negative result.

"You should continue to monitor for symptoms and if any symptoms occur, get tested again."

Young's Cherry Blossom Motor Inn has also been deemed a casual contact exposure site over five days, with anyone who was at the motel from Friday, September 3 to Tuesday, September 7 requiring a test and isolation until a result is received.

COVID-19 testing is available in Wagga at the drive-through centre at Eqeux on Copland street seven days a week, between 10am and 6pm.
