New Lynn Countdown store closed after visit by Covid-19 patient
Hi neighbours,
Another Countdown store in Auckland has been closed and received a deep clean after being visited by a person who tested positive for coronavirus.
On its website, Countdown said its New Lynn store inside LynnMall in West Auckland had been closed on Tuesday.
The person who has tested positive for the virus visited on Friday, September 4, from 8pm until 8.30pm.
Countdown said the New Lynn store was closed immediately after being notified by Auckland Regional Public Health Service about the person’s visit.
The news comes as the Ministry of Health reports six new cases of the virus in New Zealand.
Four of the new cases are in the community and have been linked to the current Auckland August cluster and Mount Roskill Evangelical Fellowship sub-cluster.
Other Countdown stores that were visited by people with the virus during August were in Browns Bay, Te Atatū South, St Lukes and Auckland City.
