Visitors last week to a Queenstown holiday park are being asked to self-isolate and get a Covid test immediately.

The Queenstown Top 10 Holiday Park on Arthurs Point Road has today been added to the Ministry of Health’s list of Covid-19 high-risk locations.

People who visited the accommodation on Sunday, January 9 and Monday, January 10 between 12am and 11.45pm, and on Tuesday, January 11 between 12am and 9.45pm are being considered as close contacts.

They are asked to self-isolate and arrange to immediately get themselves tested.

Another Queenstown location of interest of lower risk has also been named - the Britz Campervan Hire on Tuesday, January 11 between 4pm and 4.15pm.

Other locations of interest for the area on the ministry's website include the Shotover Jet on Tuesday, January 11 between 9.45am and 11.25am, and the Frankton Beach playground on the same day between 11am and 3pm.
