Hunter New England Health overnight added McDonalds Wallsend to the list for in-store customers.
Visitors on Monday September 20 were potentially exposed between 10.05am and 4.05pm, the health district advised.
At Mayfield, Chemist Warehouse has been deemed an exposure site between 8.45am and 9.05am on Saturday September 25 while Westfield Kotara's Priceline Pharmacy had a window of risk between 11.55am and 12.20pm the same day.
Those who attended any of the three sites will be casual contacts, meaning anyone who attended during those windows must seek testing and isolate until they receive a negative result.
It comes a day after the Hunter added 55 new cases and two deaths, and with Muswellbrook thrust back into lockdown for a week.
