The Ministry of Health has this evening published initial locations of interest, following the confirmed case of COVID-19 in Blenheim reported earlier today.
The case is now isolating locally in dedicated accommodation, with public health oversight. Public health investigations are ongoing to better determine the case’s movements in, or en route to, Blenheim and any further subsequent locations of interest.
We are asking people – especially those who live in the Blenheim township – to closely monitor the Ministry’s locations of interest webpage, which is being updated regularly.
We are also asking Blenheim residents with COVID-19 symptoms – no matter how mild – to please get tested, even if they are vaccinated.
