The Hutt Valley and Wellington regions are experiencing a community-wide outbreak of respiratory viruses, including RSV.

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

The Hutt Valley and Wellington regions are experiencing a community-wide outbreak of respiratory viruses, including RSV. This can cause serious respiratory infections in very young children, elderly and immune-compromised people.

As a result, we are implementing some visitor restrictions and advise the following:

- Please do not visit our hospital wards if you have had fever, cough, sore throat, or runny nose in the past 24 hours.

- Children under 12 should not visit a hospital unless there is a clear medical need.

Children under 12 are not permitted to visit SCBU, the Children's ward and the Maternity and Delivery ward.

For more information, please visit our website: www.huttvalleydhb.org.nz...

Thanks for helping us keep our patients and community safe.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Public Transport fares face 70% increase..

Mike from Alicetown

Wellington region users says increases to public transport fares of more than 70 percent would be "ludicrous", and would lead to them working from home more often, or taking the car rather than the bus.
