Countdown supermarkets to open early for healthcare, MIQ and emergency workers
Countdown will open its Auckland stores early from Saturday to allow healthcare, MIQ and emergency workers who are dealing with increased pressure to shop more easily.
Stores from Pōkeno to Warworth will open their doors for a priority access hour from 7am to 8am every day to give these workers the time and space they need to pick up essential goods.
Spokesperson Kiri Hannifin said opening a little earlier is one small way Countdown can relieve pressure on those “working at the coalface” of the latest outbreak in Auckland.
“These workers, particularly those caring for hospitalised Covid-19 patients or the large number of Kiwis currently in managed isolation, are working under huge amounts of pressure,” she said.
“Opening our doors to them an hour ahead of the public will give them the ability to shop in peace and access to freshly stocked shelves.”
Workers who can use the priority access hour include police, fire service, MIQ, ambulance, paramedic, DHB, hospital and medical personnel.
