Some Northland businesses where a woman who tested positive for Covid-19 visited are closed as a precautionary measure whereas others are worried they may have to follow suit if customers stay away.
In Kaipara, the 56-year-old woman who tested positive visited Joseph Taylor Homewares in Mangawhai on January 17 and The Dune Restaurant and Bar, also in Mangawhai, a day later.
She went to Eutopia Cafe in Kaiwaka on January 18. All three business outlets were closed yesterday, as were at least two others in Mangawhai that were not visited by her.
