A Countdown supermarket in Auckland's CBD was closed for a deep clean after a staff member related to the infected MIQ cleaner was believed to have tested positive for Covid. Countdown spokeswoman Kiri Hannifin said after a team member returned a "weak positive" Covid-19 result, the store was closed as a precaution. A relative of the MIQ worker had initially returned a "weak positive" Covid test result, but it was confirmed this morning they had subsequently tested negative. The infected MIQ cleaner also visited an Auckland kindergarten before testing positive, it emerged earlier today. ‌Bloomfield said the negative result of the re-tested household member who had initially returned a weak positive, coupled with the negative serology result, was unexpected.
