Covid 19, South Island Food and Rest areas during lockdown

10 MinutesBy NZ Trucking magazineMarch 26, 2020

UPDATED 08 April 2020

NORTH ISLAND | SOUTH ISLAND ACCOMMODATION

It appears that the only food available for collection while you are on the road is from supermarkets including 4Square and Fresh Choice. 

Service stations – some are operational, we’re trying to find out if they are doing hot food and bakery items. Customers can‘t enter most service stations, have to ‘order‘ through the window.

Dairies – no hot food or bakery items and only one customer in the store at a time.

Our best advice is to take food on the road with you.

At this stage we‘re working on gaining more information and will update accordingly.
