Waitaha Canterbury said the 24-hour surgery was open, but would only see people “with urgent health needs”.
“If it’s not urgent you will have to wait to be seen.”
Healthline also provides 24/7 free advice on what to do and where you can go.
The hospital said it would provide a further update later on Friday night.
