A Sydney woman has been told she is a close contact from the Campsie shopping centre, four days after NSW Health identified the site as an exposure venue.

NSW Health said about 30,000 people have been contacted in relation to the Belrose and Campsie exposure sites

But while other Tong Li employees were instructed by contact tracers to get tested immediately, the supermarket's clients and neighbouring shops were left in the dark On June 17, there were just two active locally acquired cases reported in Sydney. Today, there were 172 — the highest number of daily positive cases reported since the beginning of the Delta outbreak in NSW.

She said her analysis of the NSW Health data throughout the latest outbreak showed a concerning trend upwards of "cases under investigation", which means they do not know the source of those positive cases. "I learned from a friend ... there was quite a bit of chatter [on social media]. Just concern, I think, because there was a lot of people that attended Woollies," she said.

Ms Caller said when she rang NSW Health to find out why she had not received the close contact SMS, she discovered there had been a potential glitch in the contact tracing, as her name did not appear in their data.

After the gathering of 'fwits against good practice' a few days ago, contact tracing has been severely compromised.

Everyone quickly get vaccinated then the virus can't spread. No need for contact tracing then. The virus has no chance against the vaccine, the vaccine is the answer. No more lockdowns. No more quarantine. No more closed borders. Vaccine is the answer

Its not its been overwhelmed for weeks and it shows

Reality is that even VIC would struggle to contain the stampede NSW’s softly softly approach has now unleashed. The horse has bolted, and the speed & breadth of this variant is now well & truly beyond the terminal velocity of any contact tracing capability. Buckle up Australia.

Can wait to do that journalist who implied unvaxxed should have access to food.. yeah..lol

The reality is that even Victoria would struggle to contain the stampede that NSW’s softly softly approach has now landed it in. The horse has bolted, and the speed & breadth of this breed is now beyond the terminal velocity of any contact tracing capability. Buckle up Australia.

Something sure as hell not working you’d think!

This is a disaster! How can the Australian Government allow this to happen? National Emergency requires COMPLETE LOCKDOWN! Enough is enough!

Could be a sign? IS a sign! No isolation numbers or mention of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th rings etc around cases! It would be impossible to trace all cases and it has been so since the first few mystery cases appeared. They should have locked down totally to keep those cases contained!

Thanks to all the great work contact tracers are doing 💪💪💪

'Could be signs'? I think we passed that weeks ago!

Help is on the way, as soon as Victoria clears all that are in isolation Dan Andrews said he will provide our Contract Tracers to help

Do NSW people have to check in at every shop/venue they visit? How come it’s so hard to coordinate and trace when it’s all on-line? Or is this too hard for Gladys? Other States are managing okay.

Campsie shopping centre was an exposure site for 11 days. That's THOUSANDS of people. How many are going to voluntarily self-isolate for 14 days? How many even know it's an exposure site? If contact tracing doesn't reach them, and they're not staying home...

Message travel faster in community and social media than the official website. I know a confirmed case location, and see the location on the list 7 days later. GG

Given the type of people they are trying to trace like to fly under the radar, not very well I expect.

Nobody can even have half an idea of how much I hate the ABC

Contract tracing clearly not coping or we would nopt be in the mess we are in
