The cases will be reported in tomorrow’s numbers, as the notifications came in after 8.00pm

Anyone who was a customer at one of the venues of concern, during the times listed below,

is considered to be a casual contact and should get tested and isolate immediately. Staff

from each venue will be assessed by the PHU to determine if they are close or casual

contacts.
