“We have a variety of security measures in place, including additional cleaning, methacrylate screens in the box, and physical distance. We are also strongly encouraging our team and customers to wear masks when in our stores. “
Countdown said the New Lynn store closed immediately after the Auckland Regional Public Health Service notified it of the person’s visit.
The news comes as the Health Ministry reports six new cases of the virus in New Zealand.
Four of the new cases are in the community and have been linked to the current Auckland August group and the Mount Roskill Evangelical Fellowship sub-group.
Other Countdown stores that were visited by people with the virus during August were in Browns Bay, Te Atatū South, St Lukes and Auckland City.
