It comes as popular Tamworth restaurant The Pig and Tinder Box's management announced it would close for the foreseeable future after news came to light that a positive COVID-19 case had attended the venue briefly on Thursday, August 5.
However, it has not been listed as an 'exposure' site by NSW Health.
Management was notified by NSW Health that a case signed in for two minutes between 10.52 and 10.54am, prior to the restaurant's opening
It was not listed as exposure site after NSW Health completed a 'venue risk assessment' and determined the person had been there for a "minimal time".
