To all out there stay safe and keep yourself safe, but please ensure that you check on any elderly people around you especially those over 70. We can and will get over this if we all do our own little bit and don't panic.

I do know it is scary and yes Im close to that age group however I do know that if we all look after one another and ourselves we will all get through this.
Take care out there all of you.

With the likelihood of major economic disruption, there are some things we can all do:
Support your local businesses, buy your normal requirements as close to home as possible, as many "boutique" type shops are at major risk, and some won't be around as they won't be able to survive. This is a brutal and sad fact, so do all you can to keep them going.
I don't need to repeat the "safety" advice given, as I am sure most people are carrying out sensible precautions
If you are a tourist business you may need to offer New Zealanders a price they can afford. Many families are unable to visit attractions in their own country because they can't afford to do so. As there will be no overseas visitors for some time, this is one way for you to keep afloat. The more flexible you are the better you will be able to face this dilemma. If you have a surplus of anything, offer it to friends or neighbours, or any of the "food bank" type charities who, I am sure will be happy to distribute it to the right people.
