An airport, popular swimming pool, and a soccer stadium have been added to Sydney's ever-growing list of Covid exposure sites as hundreds of residents are urged to be on the lookout for symptoms.
Maroubra's Des Renford Swimming Pool, Club Marconi in Bossley Park, and the Domestic Terminal 2, at Sydney Airport, were revealed to be venues of concern on Thursday evening.
It comes as the state recorded 24 new locally-acquired cases, bringing Sydney's Bondi cluster to 195.
Half of the new cases were in the community while infectious, and seven are unlinked to previous infections - signalling Sydney's 14-day lockdown could be extended past July 9 if the trend continues.
Gladys Berejiklian and Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant have repeatedly warned stay-at-home orders would only be lifted once authorities are confident the virus is not spreading within the community - meaning cases already in isolation and linked to known clusters.

After enjoying a streak of mostly-linked infections over the past five days, the premier urged people to stay home as much as possible in order to keep the lockdown on to be lifted by next Friday.
'People going about their business, shopping and interacting with others is causing the virus to continue to circulate,' she told reporters on Thursday.
'If we want the lockdown to succeed, all of us to have minimise our movements, minimise our interaction with others, as difficult as that is.'
Staff and patrons who were at the Des Renford Pool's training pool or reception area between 10.45am and midday on Friday June 25 are considered close contacts and must immediately get tested and self isolate for 14 days.
All other patrons and staff who were at the pool (but not at the areas mentioned directly above) also need to get tested and isolate until they get a negative result

Anyone who visited the main gaming area at Club Marconi on Friday June 25 between 2.30pm and 8pm, or the next day, Saturday June 26 between 10.30am and 6pm is also a close contact and must get tested and isolate for 14 days.
Club Marconi visitors who were elsewhere in the club must isolate and get tested if they were there on June 25 between 2pm and 8pm, or June 26 between 10.30am and 6pm.
Terminal 2, at Sydney's Domestic Airport, has been declared a casual contact site, with anyone who was there on Friday 25 June between 11.00am to 11.30am directed to get tested immediately and isolate until a returning a negative result.
Anyone who attended the terminal on Saturday 26 June from 10.30am to 11.00am or 3.00pm to 3.30pm is advised to monitor for symptoms, get tested if they develop, and isolate until receiving a negative result.
Ten other venues flagged by the health department earlier on Thursday are scattered right across the Harbour City from the Covid-ravaged east where the outbreak began, to the city, inner west and western suburbs.
