Services and facilities in Capital at COVID-19 Alert Level 2
Kia ora Pōneke,
From 11:59pm tonight, Sunday 14 February, Wellington, along with most of New Zealand, will be re-entering COVID-19 Alert Level 2. This will last until midnight, Wednesday 17 February, unless otherwise announced.
It follows the news that in Auckland there are three positive cases of COVID-19. The Auckland Region will move to Alert Level 3 for the same period.
These changes of Alert Level will be reviewed on a 24-hour basis and with daily updates, the first being on Monday afternoon (15 February).
We've been through this before, and it's time for us to unite once again.
For information on how Council services and facilities will operate during Alert Level 2, please visit our website here:

Be kind and stay safe, Wellington. He waka eke noa! 💛

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
