The Prime Minister and the Director-General of Health have provided an update to media in the Beehive.

Ashley Bloomfield asked people to keep an eye out for atypical symptoms
"This new variant of the virus, the B117, does seem to be presenting with symptoms that are not the typical respiratory symptoms," he said.
If you have muscle aches, do consider this might be a Covid-19 symptom.

Hi Auckland,

How worried are you about coastal erosion in Auckland?
Auckland's shoreline could recede by 200m by 2130 if little to no action on climate change is taken.
The report, titled "Predicting Auckland's exposure to coastal instability and erosion", details the impacts this will have on communities the Auckland region.
Sea level rise is notoriously difficult for scientists to follow and this has meant coastal erosion rates have been difficult to predict.
New Zealand's sea levels have risen an average 1.67mm per year since 1989, but the Ministry of Environment says this will accelerate if little action is taken on climate change.

Improvements to the transport hub, near the northern motorway at Silverdale, were co-funded by Auckland Transport and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
The project cost $23.4 million with $11.7 million from Waka Kotahi's National Land Transport Fund.
The upgraded station boasts 90 new carparking spaces, culminating in 600 parks in total.
Also featured is cultural artwork, a retail kiosk, bike parking, AT HOP machines and waiting areas which are well lit and protected from the elements.
The new station will lead to people making better transport choices that reduce private vehicle use, ease congestion and benefit the environment, said Transport Minister Michael Wood.
On the Northern Express bus, a trip from the Hibiscus Coast Bus Station to the city centre takes an average of only 37 minutes at 7.30am.
This will be even quicker when the Northern Busway extension, between Constellation and Albany, is complete.
Albany Ward Councillor Wayne Walker said the new bus station would help with the growing popularity of bus travel, which was critical to relieving congestion on roads and the northern motorway.
Fellow Albany Ward Councillor John Watson agrees.
“This is a wonderful new facility for the people of the Hibiscus Coast, in what is now one of New Zealand’s largest park and ride stations.”
What do you think of the station's new design?
Are you in favour of the improvements?
