Physical distancing
Keeping a safe physical distance of at least 2 meters is essential to protecting yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19.
So, that means:
🚶♀️ If you are walking past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🏃♀️If you’re running past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🛹Skateboarding past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🐩Walking your dog past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🚴♂️Cycling past others, whether they’re pedestrians or cyclists, yep, 2 meters away from them.
And if you come to a narrow walkway, beach access point, alley way or bridge where you can't keep 2 meters away from them, give way and go one at a time.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
