🛑STOP Swapping / Lending / Gifting
Hi neighbours
I’m concerned about the continued swapping / gifting / lending of items that’s happening at the moment during the lock down.
We cannot do this during lock down. We cannot have any contact with people and their items that are outside of our bubble during this period.
The virus sits on surfaces, and if it’s on an item that we have gifted someone then that family / person may become infected. It’s too big of a risk. How would we feel if we infected a family and one of them died?
We all need to be mindful about this because if NZ doesn’t get in front of this during the lock down, we will be closed for longer and more jobs will be lost, and potentially will lose lives. The impacts will be even greater than they are now.
Please stay safe everyone and please keep everyone else safe.
Thanks
Danni
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
