New locations of interest related to Covid-19 outbreak

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

Queenstown Airport and the Hotel St Moritz Queentsown have been linked to a suspected Omicron case.

Anyone who was at Queenstown Airport on Saturday, January 22 between 2.15pm and 3pm or at the Hotel St Moritz on Saturday between midday and 12pm must self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after these times, the Ministry of Health advised.

If symptoms develop, they should get a test and stay at home until they get a negative test result.

The new traffic light framework started on December 3, allowing more freedoms for fully vaccinated people. The Ministry of Health would not be publishing all low-risk locations of interest in red areas under the new Covid protection framework.

See the full list of locations of interest here.
