Covid 19 coronavirus Delta outbreak: 10 new locations of interest, total number declines

Seven buses are among 10 new locations of interest added to Auckland’s list, while the total number of locations has dropped.

Spanning from Tuesday, August 10 to Tuesday, August 17, the new locations also include sections of the University of Auckland’s city campus, Manakau super clinic and a uniform shop in Wairau junction.

The seven others are bus routes around Constellation Dr and St Paul’s Church.

There has also been a drop in the recorded number of locations of interest.

There are currently 480 events involving 364 locations, down from 504 events involving 380 locations last night.

People who have been at locations of interest are asked to be tested immediately and isolate at home for 14 days from the date of last exposure.

As allnew locations of interest are pre-lockdown, some are listed for dates more than 14 days ago.

The new locations were added at 8pm on Friday night, 10 days after the country was first plunged back into alert level 4 restrictions following the detection of Covid-19 in the community.
