A Tom Price hardware store and pharmacy have been added to the growing list of COVID-19 exposure sites with visitors told to monitor for symptoms.

Tom Price’s Guardian Pharmacy was added as a COVID-19 exposure site on February 15, with people who visited the venue on February 9 between 12.00pm and 12.30pm told to monitor for symptoms unless directly advised otherwise by the Department of Health.

The town’s Mitre 10 store was also added as an exposure site, with people who visited the site on February 12 between 9.00am and 9.30am also told to monitor for symptoms.

It comes after Rio Tinto confirmed a residential worker at its Tom Price site had tested positive for the virus and was isolating at home along with two close contacts.

The East Pilbara and West Pilbara are the two least vaccinated regions in the state as of February 14 with 61.4 per cent and 58.7 per cent respectively of the po[CENSORED]tion above 12 years of age double dosed.
