Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

Another week with National figures still climbing. It continues to show how easy it is to flare up if we drop our guards

Canterbury rose from 667 to 883 - 216 National figure rose by just under 500 which means we were the largest single portion of the rise
The winter cold and flu might be contributing, and winter is here now.
Stay safe folks.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
