If flu-like symptoms start to show, get a test immediately.
The new location of interest is the only place identified since Monday, when a shop in the Auckland CBD was linked to a person with Covid just under two weeks ago.
First location of interest reported in West Auckland in weeks
The Kelston Mall has a number of businesses around and within it - including a Countdown supermarket, a petrol station, cafe and a nearby McDonald's restaurant.
A notice on the Kelston Mall's official Facebook page said last week that businesses were "stoked" to finally be going into alert level 3 - meaning takeaways were back on the menu.
"While the main mall and shops will remain closed until level 2, a number of the surrounding eateries will be operating contactless takeaways collections."
Members of the public were reminded to wear a mask and maintain social distancing when collecting their food.
The shopping complex is the first location of interest identified in West Auckland in weeks.
