COVID-19 is the problem, not the people - please show compassion during this time
We appreciate this can be a scary time for a lot of whaanau – especially with all the misinformation on COVID-19 floating around on social media. Please keep in mind that the virus is the problem – not the people. Let’s show manaakitanga and aroha to one another.
Remember - you've got this! Wash your hands, 2 metre physical distance and go and get tested if you’ve got any of the symptoms – please call your doctor to get a test first. All testing is FREE.
