Health authorities are asking thousands more people to come forward for testing as cases linked to Sydney’s latest outbreak skyrocket.

Speaking on Tuesday morning, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the shopping centre had generated “a number of cases” and authorities wanted to make sure they had “captured everybody”.

Anyone who visited the centre, including the carparks, at any time between June 12 and 18 has been asked to come forward.“We have the capacity for that to happen, and we urge people to come forward. The high number of tests we have, the better number it will be to make sure we haven’t missed any strains of community transmission.”

Thousands of additional people who visited Westfield Bondi Junction will need to get tested. Picture: NCA NewsWireChief health officer Kerry Chant said one of the 10 new cases confirmed on Tuesday morning was a worker at Bondi Junction who had been exposed – “probably through fleeting contact” – to one of the infectious people who had moved around the shopping centre.

“For this reason, we are calling out for anyone who has been at Bondi Junction, including the carparks, anytime between June 12 and 18 to get a test,” she said. “If you don’t have symptoms and are just coming forth because we are asking you to attend, you don’t need to self-isolate. What we are asking you to do is minimise your contact with others until you have a negative test.Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the Delta variant of the virus was a “gold-medallist” when it comes to jumping from one person to another.Get your political briefing from news.com.au's political editor Samantha Maiden.
