Fewer than 10 per cent of shoppers are scanning in at some Auckland supermarkets after another community outbreak of Covid-19 hit the region.

The Ministry of Health had revealed fewer than one in six people who have downloaded the Covid Tracer App are using it daily.

Stuff reporters were outside three different supermarkets in three parts of Auckland on Monday- Ponsonby Countdown, Pak n' Save Lincoln Rd, Henderson and Manukau Pak n' Save.

All up, Stuff reporters saw 81 people sign in at the three supermarkets, out of a total of 432 shoppers.

Do you use the Covid Tracer App?

Why or why not?

For those who don't sign in, is this decision prompted by privacy concerns, or something else?

Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

*Please put NFP if you do not want your comment used by Stuff.

This is the first Christmas the giant Santa Claus will not be greeting Auckland children making a trip into town.

The beckoning and winking old gent has been a familiar face in the central city since 1960 when he first graced the side of the Farmers department store on Hobson St.

The cost of storing Santa during the year and the upkeep of the ageing structure led to last year being his last appearance.

Many Aucklanders have fond memories of seeing the popular Father Christmas.

A scam combining social media and old-school cheques has seen dozens of Aucklanders duped out of their cars.

In response, police are warning of the risks of unregulated trading online via Facebook Marketplace, where the scams took place.

The social media giant said it was sorry to hear what had happened and urged people to be wary of accepting payments via cheques on its Marketplace section.

Police across Auckland have received more than 50 complaints from people scammed out of their cars via the cheque swindle in the past year.

Do you use Facebook's Marketplace to buy and sell things?
