Sydneysiders are bracing themselves for a potential lockdown after a man and his wife tested positive for Covid-19 after visiting several venues in the eastern suburbs
NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet is self-isolating at his home after visiting a city restaurant and bakery at the same time as a positive Covid case.
Mr Perrottet was at District Brasserie and Bakery in the Chifley complex in the Sydney CBD on Friday April 30 between 11am and 12 noon - at the same time as the man in his 50s separately visited the venue.
Mr Perrottet has tested negative but will isolate at home for 14 days in case he develops symptoms.

NSW Health has updated its list of potential COVID-19 exposure sites in the wake of a man who hadn’t travelled overseas testing positive, and the list is pretty long.
Anyone who has been to the following 19 shops, cafés or restaurants at the dates and times specified is being urged get tested and then self isolate until their results come back negative.
On top of that, everyone else is being asked to monitor themselves closely.
“NSW Health urges everyone in NSW with even the mildest symptoms, such as headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat or runny nose, to come forward immediately for testing, then isolate until they receive a negative result,” the department said in a statement late on Wednesday night.

It is understood that he has not travelled overseas recently, nor does he work in a hotel quarantine, border or health role, according to NSW Health.
