This is the fourth time that particular supermarket has been linked to a Covid case or cases; after earlier exposure events on Saturday, September 11, Sunday, September 12, and Sunday, September 5.
Earlier today, the ministry released one location of interest - another supermarket in Māngere that has also been connected to a person or people with Covid-19 four times in the last fortnight.
Countdown Māngere Mall, at the Māngere Town Centre on Bader Drive, was visited by a person who has tested positive for Covid last Thursday, September 16.
They were there between 11am and 1pm and anyone who was there at the same time is told to self-monitor for 14 days after the date of exposure.
Like Pak'nSave Māngere, just around the corner, this is also the fourth time the supermarket has been connected to a person with Covid in the past two weeks.

A positive case was also there two days before the latest visit, on September 14, as well as on Sunday, September 12, and Thursday, September 9.
The same advice is being given to anyone who was there at the affected times on those days - keep an eye on your health for any flu-like and Covid symptoms for two weeks after you visited a location of interest.
Only a few locations of interest were released by the ministry yesterday.
The latest anyone with the virus has been out in the community - according to the list - is three days ago when a Covid positive person was at the Countdown Botany Downs supermarket on Sunday afternoon.
The affected person was there between 12.30pm and 2.30pm that day.
