Shoppers that visited a number of Auckland shops last weekend are being urged to watch for symptoms, after the businesses were visited by an airline crew member who has tested positive for Covid-19.
An Air New Zealand crew member tested positive for Covid-19 on arrival in Shanghai on Sunday, after initially testing negative.
That infected person and their colleagues touched down in Auckland at 7.35am after arrangements were made for the crew to return to New Zealand.
The crew member visited a petrol station, two Auckland supermarkets, a paint shop, a Pharmacy, and a pet shop, the Auckland Regional Public Health Service said in a statement.
The person visited a BP Connect in Māngere, Resene Mt Roskill and the Countdown and New World in Papatoetoe on Friday, November 20.
They also visited the pharmacy at Countdown Greenlane and Animates Manukau on Saturday, November 21.
This morning the Auckland Regional Public Health Service issued a correction to the timing of one of two supermarket visits made on Friday, saying the person was in the store two hours later than initially advised.
The Ministry of Health said shoppers who went to Animates Manukau on Saturday, November 21 between 1.22pm and 2.11pm should get a test.
In addition, the staff at the Mt Roskill Resene ColorShop on Friday, November 21 between 11.45am and 12.15pm are also being told to get a test and isolate.
The paint shop said in a message last night that it would close for a few days and that staff are being tested for the virus and self-isolating until they receive negative results.
Shoppers who visited the paint shop should watch for symptoms and get a test if they develop.
"No Resene staff are showing any symptoms," the shop said.
"As a precaution, the Mt Roskill Resene ColorShop will be cleaned before reopening."
