Dear customers,
Following the announcement by the Prime Minister Friday afternoon that the greater Auckland Region stays in Alert Level 3 (and the rest of the country, Alert Level 2), our Way of Life Health shop will therefore operate under the alert level 3 guidelines.
Following the announcement our team has intensified their already strict hygiene practices in our shop. These measures have been put in place to help keep everyone safe, along with social distancing. The immediate situation has also meant our practitioners operating from our practitioner rooms have temporarily suspended their services.
We have our website online service: wayoflifehealth.co.nz to serve your needs, orders can be picked up or delivered contactless.
Alternatively, we take phone orders, email orders, or orders messaged through Facebook.
Phone: 092387806
Email: wayoflife@xtra.co.nz
Facebook: Way of Life Health Shop
Shop hours for pick-up are 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday and Saturday from 9.00am to 3.00pm.
Front and back door will be open for pickups at the door. The back door is accessed through the Countdown Carpark.
We will reassess on a regular basis so please watch for further updates.
Our Herbal Dispensary service is operating by contacting our practitioner via phone 092387806 or Facebook or email wayoflife@xtra.co.nz. We can then organize your medicinal formulations to be picked up or delivered contactless.
The well-being of our shop team and our customers is of the upmost importance to us and how we operate reflects this.
We strongly urge you to be prepared with a well-stocked emergency kit at home (including items such as hand sanitiser, face masks, basic medicines for your first aid kit and antibacterial wipes to help support good hygiene).
What we ask from you:
Please stay home and do not pick up orders if you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or if you or any people in your bubble have been in contact with anyone that has, or with anyone in managed or self-isolation.
If you feel unwell, please call the Healthline on 0800 358 5453.
We thank you for supporting our local business, who is here for you and your family.
Take care and stay safe,

Hi neighbours,

On Tuesday night, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced there were four new Covid-19 cases in the community.

Auckland moved into level 3 at midday on Wednesday, and the rest of the country into level 2.

Kiwis outside of Auckland can still continue to go to work and school, with physical distancing, and are advised to wear masks in public.

Businesses can open to the public if they are following public health guidance, which includes physical distancing and record keeping.

In terms of gatherings, New Zealanders must not travel to events with more than 100 people. This includes weddings, birthdays, funerals and tangihanga.

The Government advises all Kiwis to practise good hygiene and stay home if sick.
