At least three Countdown supermarkets are currently closed. "We're doing the best we can to manage not only the demand from customers but also a rapidly changing situation in terms of locations of interest," Countdown spokeswoman Kiri Hannifin said. An exception has been made for people who worked at the Countdown Lynfield just over two weeks ago, on August 4, when a Covid positive case visited. Countdown Lynfield is among a dozen Auckland supermarkets named as a location of interest. The other supermarkets affected are New World Green Bay, Countdown Botany, New World Mt Roskill, Countdown Takapuna, Countdown Glenfield, Countdown Glenfield Mall, New World Birkenhead, and Countdown Lincoln Rd in Henderson.
