777777777777777777 23,114 Posted February 27 (edited) New Zealand’s Prime Minister said on Saturday that the country’s biggest city, Auckland, will be put into a seven-day lockdown from Sunday after a coronavirus community case of unknown origin was recorded. The rest of New Zealand will be put into Level 2 restrictions that limit public gatherings, among others. source The new case, a 21-year-old man, lives with a student (tested negative 3 times and had no symptoms) who attends Papatoetoe High School at the centre of a COVID-19 cluster that was discovered on February 14. The man was meant to be isolating but he left his house multiple times. He worked one day a week at an airport. He went to the gym straight after visiting the GP for his COVID-19 test on Friday. The lockdown is necessary due to there being no immediate transmission link between the new case and the latest Auckland cluster, and because of the number of places the case had visited while potentially infectious. There are currently six new locations of interest visited by the new case. They are: ♦ Hunter Plaza, Papatoetoe, visited at 26 February between 2.55pm-5pm ♦ Burger King, Highland Park, on 25 February, 8pm-9pm ♦ Your Health Pharmacy, Papatoetoe, 23 February, 2.45pm-3.50pm ♦ Pak ‘N’ Save Manukau, 21 February, 5.30pm-6.40pm ♦ CityFitness, Papatoetoe, 26 February, 3.20pm-4.40pm and, 20 February, 12.20pm-1.45pm ♦ Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), Ōtara, 22, 25 and 26 February source source source Edited February 27 by 777777777777777777 👻 1 1 3 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
Helxig 25,745 Posted February 27 Shh stop reminding me It's probably that f.ucking family where multiple of them had it and continued going to work/into public When will people learn that if they're waiting on their covid test results when sick they need to stay home and isolate. Their ignorance puts millions of us out and risks our entire economy. Also take this as a lesson everyone overseas... when people start getting vaccinated, that's not when it's all over. This thing is so temperamental that even slightly slacking in diligence can have a huge domino effect. We need to stay on top of our sh.it until everyone (minus the few crazies who won't) is vaccinated and the virus is in major decline, if not completely eliminated, before life can go back to the way it was I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 2 Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

Just for a week (unless they find more spread) while they investigate where it could've come from and test the people that the infected were in contact with. The rest of us are in level 2 which means social distancing in public, no large gatherings, extra cleaning and precautionary measures at work, etc. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

This man meant to be self-isolating but he didn't. He even went to the gym after his Covid-19 test His sibling is a student at Papatoetoe High School (COVID-19 cluster, discovered on February 14) but they can't provide a straightforward link in this case to the school, since the student previously tested negative. 👻 2 Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
