There were nine new cases of Covid-19 in the community today, all in Auckland. Video / Mark Mitchell / Dean Purcell / Jed Bradley / Jason Oxenham

Kainga Ora Apartments Parnell, a BP Connect and more supermarkets in south and east Auckland have been added as locations of interest today.

A person infected with Covid-19 was at the Kainga Ora Apartments in Cracroft St last weekend on September 18, from 8am until the following Monday 8pm.

People who were present at the location are asked to self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days, and if they do develop, to get a test and stay home.

The Health Ministry added the latest locations in a 6pm update.

Earlier updates include a person with Covid-19 who was out shopping at Countdown Māngere East on Wednesday, the first day of alert level 3.

The affected time is between 10.30am and 12pm and the official advice, if you were there at the time, is to monitor your health for any flu-like symptoms for 14 days after being at the supermarket.

Pak'nSave Māngere - already on the locations list - has a new exposure time after a positive case was there on Monday last week, September 13, between 10am and 11.30am.

The last few days have seen a markedly reduced number of locations of interest in the Auckland region and none identified in the Waikato, other than Mangatangi School.

Nine exposure events at locations around Auckland were released by the Ministry of Health yesterday. On Wednesday, 13 locations were identified and the day before three locations were announced.

Despite the low number of places, the list continues to show that a number of people with the virus have been out in the community - shopping, doing laundry and visiting various businesses - in the last week.

The Mountfort Park Manurewa Sports Centre has been linked to at least one person with Covid on Monday between 5pm and 8pm.

Health officials have highlighted the steps at the sports centre, indicating someone was likely there exercising.

The day before, three exposure events were identified.

A Covid-positive person visited the Othello Superette, on 31 Othello Drive, in Clover Park that Sunday morning between 8.45am and 9.15am.

The PJ's Laundromat next to the superette was also visited around the same time - between 8.15am and 9.15am.

The third exposure event that day was at the Countdown Botany Downs supermarket, when a member of the public affected by the virus was there from 12.30pm to 2.30pm.
