Can’t find your kids? No need to worry they’re probably in their mini Michael Ellse house! 🏡

Team Michael Ellse wants to put your little quarantine creators to the test! It is time to unleash your kids imaginations because we want to see our mini Michael Ellse quarantine creators build a FORT and Be into Win!!

Indoors…outdoors…underneath the dining table, on the trampoline, in the lounge where mum and dad watch TV…where ever their heart desires. We want to see it all!

It is a Quarantine Competition so four simple rules:
1. Post a picture of your kids in their fantastic forts
2. Tag us!
3. Hashtag #teammichaelellse
4. Follow our Facebook page
It is as easy as that!

The winner will receive a Family Pass for four (two adults & two children) to Rainbows End! This will be drawn when Level 4 lockdown ends. 🌈

Get building our little quarantine creators! Tag your friends if you think they're up for the challenge. We can’t wait!

Warning: house may get messy and your kids may refuse to leave their mini Michael Ellse house (we know of a good real estate agent when you want the fort sold). 😆

All regions outside of the Auckland and Northland region will move to Alert Level 3 11.59pm Tuesday August 31.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.
