By RNZThere's been considerable pushback over the Coromandel mayor saying she had not been scanning in using the Covid-19 tracer app. Thames-Coromandel District mayor Sandra Goudie told Checkpoint last night she would not normally scan in when visiting locations. "It's very hit and miss for me," she said, saying she felt her credit card tracked her locations already. Gary Gotlieb, councillor for the South East Ward of the Thames-Coromandel District, told RNZ he strongly disapproved of the remarks. I've had so many people contact me about this as a councillor, and I'm quite ashamed she made those comments."
