South Head General Store still remains closed after a 56-year-old Northland woman infected with the highly contagious South African strain spent time in their Parakai shop on January 19 after contracting the virus in managed isolation. Despite twice testing negative, she developed symptoms on January 15, getting progressively worse before she returned a positive test on January 22. The woman has since recovered and is now isolating at home with her husband who is undergoing 14 days of self-isolation. "When we return you will have two options to be served at our store ... Scan in/Sign In or Don't Come In!" "If the above upsets anyone or sends us broke by protecting us, families, our community etc then we will be broke but safe."
