Here's a vital Covid-19 update: A person who works at KFC in Botany Downs is the latest community case of Covid-19 in Auckland.
Kendall Hutt:
The community case, announced today, is a household contact of the cases announced on Tuesday.
Three new community cases were announced on Tuesday, connected to a south Auckland family who had previously tested positive for the virus.
The Ministry of Health said the new case, Case L, works at KFC in Botany Downs, which is now considered a new location of interest.
They last worked there between Monday, February 22 at 3.30pm and 12.30am on Tuesday, February 23.
The ministry said 11 KFC staff who worked at the same time as the case were considered close plus contacts.
They should get a test on Saturday and are required to isolate for 14 days, along with their household contacts.
People who entered the store, on Ti Rakau Dr, between 3.30pm on Monday and 12.30am on Tuesday are considered close contacts and should isolate at home until March 8.
The ministry said these people should also get tested on Saturday and then again at day 12.
People who went through the drive-through between 3.30pm on Monday and 12.30pm on Tuesday are considered casual plus contacts and should isolate at home until a negative day five test comes back.
These people should also get a test on Saturday and remain isolated until they get their test results back.
All contacts should call Healthline, the ministry said.
Two new locations of interest connected to one of the cases were released by the ministry on Thursday night.
Both on Great South Rd in Papatoetoe, the two new locations are Choice Food Bar and Li’l Abners Takeaway.
Viyush Grover, manager at Choice Food Bar, said the shop would be undergoing a deep clean “for sure”.
The owner of Li’l Abners said three workers were self-isolating, but it was otherwise open for business.
On Thursday it was also revealed a private house viewing was held at the home of cases I, J and K, on Saturday, February 20, before they tested positive.
The viewing lasted half an hour, and was attended by three people.
Kmart Botany and Dark Vapes in East Tāmaki have previously been announced as locations of interest, with one of the cases working at Kmart.
Customers at Kmart – at least 1236 people – and those at Dark Vapes had been reclassified as close contacts, while staff at both stores were now regarded as ‘close plus’ contacts.
The new cases sparked the reclosure of Papatoetoe High School, requiring all students and staff be retested, and forcing all households connected to the school into a lockdown of sorts.
As of Thursday morning, 1100 students and staff had been tested.

The 73-year-old is the longest serving staff member at Mount Eden's Community Corrections service in Auckland.
The probation officer has been recognised with a long service and good conduct award.
It all started in 1971 when Cooke joined the probation service after gaining his law degree at Auckland University.
The probation service "seemed a good place to start and much more exciting than being a lawyer," he said.
"(I) stayed because I still have some of the idealism left and the criminal justice system is still an exciting place to work in."
In 1971 the Probation Service, as it was known, was a division of the Department of Justice.
This changed with the establishment of the Department of Corrections in 1996.
In Auckland, there was a main office in High St with reporting centres in the suburbs, Cooke said.
"I looked after Henderson and you were at the reporting centres at night on your own.
"In addition, probation officers collected fines and reparation as part of a special condition of probation, and a cash box with a float of money accompanied us."
Cooke was the sole charge district probation officer at Kaikohe.
He recalls travelling on his own to do home visits for most of the rural caseload.
Cooke has seen many changes over the years.
People under probation orders were now much more difficult to manage and more unpredictable, he said.
Before the 2002 Sentencing Act, there was a national Parole Board for those sentenced over 7 years Imprisonment and a District Prisons Board for each prison deciding release for those serving under 7 year sentences, Cooke said.
"They also decided on back end Home Detention before Home Detention became a separate sentence. "

As students adjusted to the shift in their educational environment, many schools were ill-prepared to move to quickly to online learning. Schools such as St Peter’s in Cambridge were readily prepared for a seamless transfer between classroom and digital learning.
With each student ready to use online platforms such as Google Classroom and Hangouts, a streamlined shift was enabled as soon as the lockdown occurred.
