Covid-19: All the locations of interest linked to Auckland's new community case
Hi neighbours,
A new Covid-19 case in the Auckland community was announced on Saturday evening, sending the city into a seven-day alert level 3 lockdown.
Here's an important update by reporter Melanie Earley from Stuff:
The Ministry of Health has released new locations of interest the new case, known as Case M, visited while infectious.
The 21-year-old man went to their GP on Friday afternoon, where he got tested, and then to a south Auckland gym later that day.
The new case is a family member of a student from Papatoetoe High School. That student had tested negative three times and had no symptoms.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said there was a “cause for concern” as the person had been infectious for a week and had not been in isolation.
There are currently six new locations of interest visited by the new case. They are:
Hunters Plaza, Papatoetoe, February 20 between 11-2pm and February 26 between 2.55pm-5pm
Burger King, Highland Park, 25 February, 8pm-9pm
Your Health Pharmacy, Papatoetoe, 23 February, 2.45pm-3.50pm
Pak ‘N’ Save Manukau, February 21, 6pm-6.10pm
CityFitness, Papatoetoe, February 26, 3.25pm-4.30pm and February 20, 12.20pm-1.45pm
Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), Manukau Station Rd, February 22, 24, and 25, 12pm-6.30pm
MIT Breaktime Cafe, February 22, 3.15pm-3.45pm and February 24, 3.45pm-4.15pm.
More locations of interest will be loaded on the Ministry of Health's website.
Anyone who visited these locations is to be considered a casual contact of the new case.
The only exception is CityFitness, where visitors are considered casual plus contacts.
In an email to gym members, CityFitness said it was closed after being notified by Auckland Regional Public Health that a person who tested positive for Covid 19 had visited its Papatoetoe site.
