Dunedin community pool closing temporarily after Covid-19 cases confirmed
The Dunedin City Council is temporarily closing one of its community pools, and further changes are likely, after five pool staff tested positive for Covid-19.
Chief executive Sandy Graham said the affected staff included a lifeguard who worked a shift at Moana Pool while asymptomatic on Saturday.
As a result, the council had decided to temporarily close the Port Chalmers swimming pool from Tuesday, so staff could be diverted to keep Moana Pool open.
There would be further disruption to pool operations over the coming days and weeks, given the number of pool staff who may be deemed close contacts, and also required to isolate, Graham said.
“We’re continuing to follow advice from health authorities, and we’ve taken all possible steps to prepare for this eventuality," she said.
“Some disruption is inevitable, but we will be doing our best to minimise its impact, and we ask everyone for patience and understanding as we work through this.”

I make my living by bringing the heat.

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
