New Zealand can have an 'unstoppable summer' if everyone continues with the simple health behaviours that have allowed us to hold the virus back so well for so long.

New Zealand is currently at Alert Level 1 with no restrictions on travel, gatherings or events.

While there have been recent border related cases, thousands of tests across the Auckland and Northland regions have shown no evidence of community transmission.

The situation is still developing and the recent cases make it more important than ever that we are all doing our bit to keep New Zealanders safe and our communities free from COVID-19.

New Zealand's  Covid-19 Website HERE tells you all you need to know about what you can do to help 'do your bit.'

  • stay home if you’re unwell and get tested
  • sign into places using the NZ COVID Tracer app and enable Bluetooth tracing.
  • check that you have Bluetooth tracing enabled on the dashboard of the NZ COVID Tracer app. If you don’t, please turn it on.
  • if you don’t have the NZ COVID Tracer app, please keep a record of where you’ve been.
  • practice good hygiene (includes washing your hands often and coughing into your elbow)
  • regularly clean high touch surfaces.

And don't forget your friends and whānau - make sure they know what to do.

Keep smart, keep safe, and keep Wairarapa and Aotearoa Covid-19 free!
