A 56-year-old woman has tested positive for the virus after travelling widely in the region.
The Northland Chamber of Commerce predicted hundreds of staff would not come into work today after the woman visited about 30 locations across lower Northland and north Auckland.
The news that the positive case visited the South Head General Store on the south Kaipara Peninsula has owner Aaron Watson reeling.
He said he only opened the business late last month and he was gutted about what has happened. Absolutely devastated, we don t know what to do, we re shattered, absolutely shattered.
