Overriding where conditions in Laravel Query builder

I am working on E-Commerce application, in which I am fetching the product which has the status 1. But there are situations where I need to fetch the product which has status 2 or 3.

I have overridden the newQuery method and added a condition for status 1 in that method. Now I want to add another condition for status 2, but when I add this condition, the where clause will be duplicated in SQL query for that column(the default behavior of query builder).

Below is my code,

public function newQuery($excludeDeleted = true) {
    return parent::newQuery($excludeDeleted)
     ->where('status', 1);                
}

When I need to fetch the product with status 2 as below

return $query->where('status', 2);

then the query formed will be as below

select * from `products` where `status` = 1 and `status` = 2

But I need an output like below query

select * from `products` where `status` = 2

Please suggest the way of doing it.
