Covid-19: Scanning scarce at some Auckland supermarkets
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.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
