March 23, 2021

The person is a worker at Auckland’s Grand Millennium Hotel.

An Auckland Countdown has been revealed as a location of interest in the Covid-19 managed isolation worker case which was announced last night.

The person - who works as a cleaner at the Grand Millennium Hotel - visited Mt Roskill Countdown on Saturday, March 20 between 3pm to 3:15pm.

The website lists people who visited the store at this time as casual contacts and states people should: "Monitor your health until 3 April. If you begin to feel unwell or develop any Covid-19 symptoms, contact Healthline on 0800 358 5454, get tested and stay at home until a negative test result is received."

The store has closed for a deep cleaning and will re-open later today.

Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says there has been “very limited exposure” from the case in the community.

It was also announced that one of the cases - known as Case A - family members has returned a "weak positive" result which is being followed up.

Hipkins says Case A remains asymptomatic. They and their immediate household members are currently isolated at their Auckland home.

Bloomfield said Case A went to work yesterday while asymptomatic and while wearing a mask. They did not work the three days prior to yesterday.

Case A received both jabs of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, having the latest dose on March 16.

Bloomfield says full vaccination requires both doses and a period of 7 days after the second dose.
