People who visited a hair and beauty salon in Tauranga are being told to self-isolate after a person with Covid-19 was there last week.

They were there for two hours between 12.30pm and 2.30pm and the official advice for anyone who was there at the same time is to self-isolate and get tested immediately.

"Self-isolate, test immediately and on day five after you were exposed at this location of interest. Further isolation and testing requirements will be provided by Public Health."
