"We are asking the people of Hay not to panic," they said.
"Our site is closed only as a precaution as instructed. We are very low risk of exposure due to the processes we have in place as advised by NSW government.
"Our town is a main thoroughfare with many people passing through daily. We are not immune to this disease and our processes are in place to keep the people of Hay as safe as possible."
