Is the government giving financial support to families that are self-isolating?
Hi, my neighbours
We know that these days many families live in south Auckland, like Papatoetoe and now east Auckland, like Botany are self-isolating as government required.
I just wonder could they apply any help during the isolation or does the government supply any help?
I worry that those people who are self-isolating are suffering from a lot of pressure. Not everyone is wealthy enough to self-isolate without support, right? Do they have enough income to pay for their rent or food or cover their basic expenses? Could they keep working at home and not lose their jobs? How can they get help? And if so from where?
Could anyone who has experienced this share their thoughts and feelings about this subject?
Kind regards
Betty
