Covid-19: Casino among raft of locations of interest after new community cases

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Eight new locations of interest – including a casino, department store and icecream shop – have been identified in Christchurch after two new cases of Covid-19 in the region were announced on Tuesday.

The locations included Christchurch Casino on Victoria St, visited between 9.30pm last Wednesday and 12.30am the following day, TANK Juice Bar in Cashel Square on Hereford St between 3.51pm and 4pm, and the Christchurch Adventure Park and Cafe in Cracroft between 3.40 pm and 6.30 pm on Thursday.

Anyone who visited the locations during the listed times was asked to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after being exposed.

The same advice was issued for anyone who visited the popular Riverside Market on Oxford Tce between 4.29pm and 5pm last Wednesday, Rollickin Gelato Cafe on Cashel St on the same day between 5pm and 5.05pm, or Ballantynes department store on Cashel St between 4.11pm and 4.31pm.

Anyone who visited Kathmandu on Colombo St in central Christchurch on the same day between 3.40pm and 3.50pm or Kmart on Riccarton Rd on Thursday between 7.45pm and 8.30pm should also self-monitor for symptoms.

The Ministry of Health advised anyone who developed symptoms to stay home until a negative test result was returned.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
