Covid-19: Mayor urges people 'not to panic' over Queenstown's locations of interest
A motel, casino and a popular Queenstown tourism attraction have been named as three Covid-19 locations of interest.
SkyCity Casino, in Beach St, was identified by the Ministry of Health as being a location of interest between 5.50pm and 7.30pm on New Year's Day.
Oaks Club Suites in Frankton Rd was also identified, between 9.30pm on December 30 and 8.30am on January 2.
The Shotover Jet, on Arthurs Point Rd, was also named as a location of interest on January 2, between 9am and 12pm.
People who went to either location during these times should self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days from the point of exposure and get tested if symptoms develop.
Queenstown Lakes mayor Jim Boult said he was keeping a watching brief on the locations of interest and urged anyone displaying symptoms to get tested and isolate until results were known.
“What we should be careful of is not to panic.”
The incident underscored “the protocols around protecting yourself”: contact tracing, mask wearing, basic hygiene, and physical distancing, he said.
