"We reiterate to customers the importance of using the NZ Covid tracker app when visiting a Countdown store." Hannifin said the stores "will likely reopen tonight depending on how long the clean takes and when they would normally close on a Saturday". Two people are in Auckland City Hospital, four people in Middlemore, two people in North Shore Hospital and one person in Waikato Hospital.
