Covid 19 coronavirus: confirmed case visited gym, supermarket and warehouse in North Shore

A person with Covid-19 visited Les Mills gym in Takapuna and Countdown supermarket and The Warehouse in Milford, all on Auckland’s North Shore, before learning they had tested positive.

Auckland Regional Public Health cautions that anyone who has visited Les Mills Gym in Takapuna on September 9-10 and attended certain Body Combat and Sprint classes is now being treated as a close contact.

Classes included Wednesday, September 9: Sprint RPM class at 5.30pm and Body Combat class at 6.15pm; and Thursday, September 10: Body Combat class at 9.15 am

A spokesperson said the person also visited The Warehouse and Countdown in Milford on Thursday, September 10.

An ARPHS spokesperson said in a statement tonight that anyone who has attended the same Les Mills Takapuna classes as the person with COVID-19 is considered a close contact and at higher risk of getting sick.

“We ask these people to stay home and contact Healthline on 0800 358 5453 as soon as possible. Healthline will inform them of the steps they will need to take, including arranging for testing.”

Those who have attended the gym at approximately the same time as the case (between 5.15 p.m. and 7 p.m. on September 9 and 9 a.m. and 10.15 a.m. on September 10), but who did not attend the same classes, are considered casual contacts.

While casual contacts are considered to have a lower risk of getting sick, ARPHS recommends that these people call Healthline and arrange for a one-time test as well.

Casual contacts should also remain vigilant for signs and symptoms of COVID-19, but they don’t need to isolate themselves unless they are feeling unwell.

ARPHS said the risk to anyone who was at the other locations, the Countdown supermarket or the Warehouse, at the same time as the case, is very low.

“The person was only in these stores for 15 minutes and had no close contact with anyone else during the visits. While the person was contagious at the time, the risk to staff and other shoppers is considered low.”

It occurs when Auckland is about to find out if the city will drop below alert level 2.5.

Auckland’s Covid-19 group has grown to become the largest group in New Zealand, increasing the need for residents to keep track of where and when they have been.

To date, 176 cases have been reported and the origin of the outbreak is still under investigation.

As of early September, more than two million people had downloaded the NZ Covid Tracer app, but the number of daily location scans showed that it still wasn’t capturing all movements.

The government recently announced that it would release a paper location registration brochure, which those who did not want to use the app could take with them.

“They allow you to keep a manual paper diary; we are aware that some of our senior citizens in particular prefer to keep a paper record of where they have been,” Health Minister Chris Hipkins said at a previous Covid press conference. -19.

Hipkins urged New Zealanders to keep track of his movements. “If you are not using the application, we ask that you track your movements in some other way.”

The Government reported today two new Covid-19 cases in New Zealand, one of which is an imported case in managed isolation and the other is a health worker at the Jet Park Hotel.

Five household contacts connected to the health worker are isolated in their home and are being tested today.

“This case is still being investigated to determine whether the infection came from the community or within the quarantine facility, although at this stage no obvious links with other cases in the community have been established,” the Health Ministry said.
