Community case of Covid-19 in Devonport

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Kia ora neighbours. A Devonport man has tested positive for the Delta variant of Covid-19.

One of his colleagues and six others - including a nurse at Auckland City Hospital - have since tested positive for the virus. The entire country is currently in alert level four.

At this stage, the Ministry of Health has only shared information for one Auckland location of interest: The Devonport Pharmacy, which the man visited on Monday, August 16 from 2.15pm-2.30pm.

Despite this, the pharmacy was the only shop on Devonport’s main road to be open on Wednesday. The township was unusually quiet, with only the odd jogger, dog-walker or cyclist visible.

Devonport-Takapuna Local Board member Toni van Tonder, who lives in Narrowneck, said that having a Covid case locally was slightly alarming. However, she had faith residents were doing the right thing.

“Devonport is a unique community, people are very, very caring of one another.”

Feeding chickens

Erica from Unsworth Heights

Hi there, we are going away for the first week of the upcoming school holidays and looking for someone to feed our 2 backyard chickens while we are gone. Is there anyone out there able to help with this? Could be a good way for a young one to earn a bit of holiday pocket money perhaps?

We will provide all the food required, and it only takes about 5mins a day. Plus you’d be welcome to keep the eggs they lay each day for that time too.

Please DM me for more details if you’re interested in helping us out
