The Ministry of Health has released several new locations of interest after a person in Christchurch tested positive for Covid-19.

Earlier yesterday, 180 cases were announced in Auckland, four in Northland, five in Waikato, seven in Lakes district and one in Canterbury.

Christchurch Airport was added to the growing list on Wednesday night. Anyone who was at the airport on Saturday, November 13, between 1.30pm and 2.30pm must self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms.

The Eastgate Countdown was visited twice by a person infected with Covid-19.

The supermarket was first visited on Saturday, November 13, between 3.15pm and 3.45pm.

It was then visited two days later on Monday, November 15, between 11.30am and 12pm.

Eastgate Shopping Centre in Linwood was also visited twice, first on Saturday between 3.15pm and 3.45pm, then on Monday from 11.30pm to 12pm.

Anyone who visited these locations of interest during the specified time must self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days.

"Self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after you were exposed at this location of interest," the Ministry of Health said.

"If symptoms develop, get a test and stay at home until you get a negative test result and until 24 hours after symptoms resolve."
