One of the three COVID-19 cases diagnosed in NSW after 8pm on Monday lives in Wollongong, though they had recently visited Sydney. The others live in Sydney's inner west and north.
Close-contact health alerts were subsequently issued on Tuesday afternoon for two Greek Orthodox churches in Wollongong on December 27 - St Nektarios Church and The Holy Cross Church.
Casual-contact alerts also apply for several venues at Figtree, including Figtree Grove Shopping Centre, Mona Vale and Wollongong.
