Protecting our communities from the spread of COVID-19 is our number one priority. To do this we have had to close Mauao tracks, McLaren Falls Park and all playgrounds.

We know it’s important to get outdoors and stay active, luckily Tauranga has over 20km of coastline for people to exercise. We also have a range of walking and cycleways as well as parks and trails. But please remember to stick to places that are walking distance from your home, as driving is restricted to essential services only.

Hello everyone, I hope your all keeping safe and healthy during this most testing of times for us all.
As with most businesses I will be ceasing my regular customer visits and onsite technical support for the next 4 weeks.
I am however available to provide technical support over the phone/webchat and via Technical Assistance apps that allow me to securely remote into various devices (PC, Laptops, Mobiles & Tablets) and assist as required with you, so if you do have any technical issues or problems please feel free to give me a call and we can discuss the options and make a plan accordingly.

As always phone based inquiries and advice and are always free so if you have a question regarding that stubborn piece of IT just give me a ring and I will do what I can to assist, and if a remote session is required I have structured my remote support activity into 15 minute segments and will be able to invoice by the quarter hour.

My family and I send my best wishes to you all, and hope you all stay fit and well over the coming month, and I look forward to resuming my full onsite support services to you after we have come through the lock down period.

Kind regards Kevin

We’re now at Alert Level 4. Stay home. Save lives.

New Zealand Government

Dear concerned citizen,

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.

Dear concerned citizen,

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.

Level 4 measures will likely be in place for a number of weeks.

Don’t worry. During that time you will still be able to access all the essentials you need, including medicine, food, and other home supplies.

ALL THE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS
It’s incredibly important that we all follow the Level 4 plan, all the time. No exceptions. Because doing so will save lives.

A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE
We realise these are big changes. But these are challenging times.
If we don't all stay home, the whole country will need Level 4 restrictions for longer.

SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PEOPLE
We owe it to the essential services. Our nurses, doctors and everyone else on the frontline. They’re working tirelessly to save lives. We should all do everything in our power to help them do this.
Thank you to each and every person, for doing their bit.

While you’re staying at home:

STAY CONNECTED
• Don’t let physical distance stop you staying connected. Keep in touch with people using video calls, phone calls, chat and texting.
• If you know people who are living alone, vulnerable, or separated from their loved ones, regularly check-in with them.

STAY WELL
• Continue to practice good hygiene – wash your hands with soap. Then dry.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your home with disinfectant.
• Keep up regular physical exercise, and get some fresh air when possible. It’s good so long as this is solitary, or only with those you live with.

REACH OUT
If you need advice, support or help, try reaching out to friends, family, whānau or workmates.

WE'RE UPDATING INFORMATION CONSTANTLY
For all the latest advice, including answers to your health and financial questions, go to Covid19.govt.nz.

And remember: what you do now, will help protect all of us.

HOWEVER there will be special rules for the use of the facility which will be displayed on the front window and inside the shop.
PLEASE READ.
Thank you.

Health News
Customers should continue doing laundry, regardless of whether its at a commercial outlet or in the home environment. Regular cleaning will prevent the spread of the disease as the virus can live on clothing for up to 3 days.
Viruses do not like heat. Hot water cycles should be used for washing.
Using the right amount of soap is important. Over-sudsing can prevent clothes from being rinsed properly and can cause dirt, and the virus, to be trapped in fabrics.
DONT FORGET disinfect your laundry baskets or use a disposable bag.
Hope this helps.
We wish you all best through this difficult time.
Bellevue Laundromat Team.
