Covid-19: Kmart Botany update

From Morning Report, 7:17 am on 24 February 2021

A teenager who recently tested positive for Covid-19 worked two shifts at the Botany Kmart last week despite advice from their school for all households to stay home until they got a negative test.

They were at Kmart on Friday the 19 February and Saturday the 20 February between 4 in the afternoon and 10 at night.

Anyone at the store at these times is considered a casual plus contact, and is being asked to immediately isolate at home and get a test.

All 31 K-mart Botany staff have been identified as close contacts and are isolating.

Amy Williams is at Kmart in Botany.
