Covid-19: All the locations of interest linked to Auckland's new community case

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

A new Covid-19 case in the Auckland community was announced on Saturday evening, sending the city into a seven-day alert level 3 lockdown.

Here's an important update by reporter Melanie Earley from Stuff:

The Ministry of Health has released new locations of interest the new case, known as Case M, visited while infectious.

The 21-year-old man went to their GP on Friday afternoon, where he got tested, and then to a south Auckland gym later that day.

The new case is a family member of a student from Papatoetoe High School. That student had tested negative three times and had no symptoms.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said there was a “cause for concern” as the person had been infectious for a week and had not been in isolation.

There are currently six new locations of interest visited by the new case. They are:

Hunters Plaza, Papatoetoe, February 20 between 11-2pm and February 26 between 2.55pm-5pm

Burger King, Highland Park, 25 February, 8pm-9pm

Your Health Pharmacy, Papatoetoe, 23 February, 2.45pm-3.50pm

Pak ‘N’ Save Manukau, February 21, 6pm-6.10pm

CityFitness, Papatoetoe, February 26, 3.25pm-4.30pm and February 20, 12.20pm-1.45pm

Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), Manukau Station Rd, February 22, 24, and 25, 12pm-6.30pm

MIT Breaktime Cafe, February 22, 3.15pm-3.45pm and February 24, 3.45pm-4.15pm.

More locations of interest will be loaded on the Ministry of Health's website.

Anyone who visited these locations is to be considered a casual contact of the new case.

The only exception is CityFitness, where visitors are considered casual plus contacts.

In an email to gym members, CityFitness said it was closed after being notified by Auckland Regional Public Health that a person who tested positive for Covid 19 had visited its Papatoetoe site.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Builder: Small to Medium Jobs

Bruce from Whole 9 Yards

The below phots - start to finish 7 working days. widened the cupboards, rebuilt insitue, new tops, paint and splash back.

During this past month I have performed many repairs, small building and upgrading jobs in several homes on the North Shore, my area work base. I’m a Sole Charge operation, all discussion and quoting, project management and product purchase, then doing the work myself.
I have a fellow builder mate to help on some of my jobs, between us we have at least 90 years experience, not bad for 2 guys. I’ve been swinging a hammer for over 5o years and Mike 40 years.
I specialise in small jobs, all those little things that should be adjusted, repaired or replaced and you keep putting off, simply because you don’t know how or where to get your maintenance brought up to scratch.


Please realise it’s way more cost effective to keep up to date with your maintenance than leave it and find that the original problem has now helped wear out something else. Now you have more than one piece to be fixed and subsequently, you guessed it, the job will cost more.
I don’t charge for my first visit, yes, Free. We can discuss your maintenance job be it big or small.
Feel free to contact me.
