Four new coronavirus cases linked to Sydney's Crossroads Hotel include a staffer, leading authorities to warn all patrons from 3 July to 10 July to self-isolate.

Thousands of Sydneysiders will potentially have to self-isolate for two weeks after a pub staffer and three other people became the latest cases in an emerging coronavirus cluster.

The 18-year-old staffer and a close contact in her 50s, plus a woman in her 40s and a Victorian man in his 20s, who both dined at the venue, were on Sunday confirmed as new cases linked to The Crossroads Hotel cluster, bringing the total to nine.
