đSTOP Swapping / Lending / Gifting
Hi neighbours
Iâm concerned about the continued swapping / gifting / lending of items thatâs 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 itâs on an item that we have gifted someone then that family / person may become infected. Itâs 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 doesnât 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

New baby?
Hi - I'm Olivia from Stuff (and a new mum myself).
I'm writing an article on the different challenges faced by parents around the country, from midwife availability and getting on wait lists for childcare right down to the food at birthing centres.
