Hunter cases jump to give as winery linked to coronavirus
The man in his 20s is the source of the infection for a woman in her 60s identified on Saturday as having the disease and the man in his 60s announced on Monday.
HNEH has identified close contacts of the new cases and asked them to self-isolate for 14 days.
The male in his 20s works at Pokolbin's Oakvale winery and was likely exposed through interaction with an international tour group.
As a precaution, anyone who visited Oakvale from March 4 to 13 should be alert for fever or respiratory symptoms.
If they develop any of these symptoms, they should contact their GP or present to an emergency department.
"As a precaution, I'd like to point out that anyone who visited Oakvale winery at Pokolbin between the fourth of March and the 13th of March should be alert for fever or respiratory symptoms for 14 days after their visit," Mr Hazzard said at a media conference on Monday.
He said people did not have to avoid the Broke Road winery.
"I stress, though, that at Oakvale wines there was an issue. I'm stressing that each of these once the risk has passed there is no further risk," he said.
