Dark Vapes has previously been named a location of interest. It comes after three community cases were announced on Tuesday, connected to a south Auckland family who had previously tested positive for the virus.
Kmart Botany and Dark Vapes in East Tāmaki have previously been announced as locations of interest, with one of the cases working at Kmart. When contacted by
Stuff, the owner of Li’l Abners, who gave his name only as Sam, said the virus was “dead”. “The person visited a week ago,” he said. He then hung up before
Stuff could ask further questions. Viyush Grover, the manager at Choice Food Bar, said the shop had been contacted by the ministry at 2pm Thursday.
