A Department of Conservation campsite near Waipū and two Whangārei businesses are the latest location of interest linked to the Covid-positive woman who recently visited the region.
Comfort Hotel Flames in Onerahi had an exposure event on Saturday, October 2 between 6-6.30pm. Pepe's Dairy, also in Onerahi, had an exposure event on Sunday, October 3 between 9-10am.
The Uretiti Beach DoC campsite south of Whangārei was exposed to the virus later that day between 6.30pm and 5pm the next day.
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins held a late press conference yesterday to reveal a woman - who registered a weak positive test in Northland - had returned a positive test result on her return to Auckland.
The woman is believed to have travelled around the region, including to Whangārei, Kamo, Paihia and Kawakawa, before returning to Auckland.
However, locations of interest were limited as the woman had been "unco-operative" with authorities in determining her movements in the region, according to Hipkins.
Two service stations which were named as locations of interest yesterday were BP Connect Wylies in Woodhill (Saturday, October 2 - 11.20pm-12.20am) and Z Kensington (Monday, October 4 - 3.45pm-4.45pm).
Campsite manager Farrow said it was believed another woman - who was reportedly travelling with the Covid-positive case - had come through the site between October 3-5.
