New Zealand will move to a Level 4 lockdown after a community case was detected in Auckland.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was joined by Ashley Bloomfield at a press conference, where she confirmed that Auckland and Coromandel would move to Alert Level 4 from 11.59pm for seven days, while the rest of the country will be under Level 4 conditions for three days.
It is unknown whether this case is that of the Delta variant. Bloomfield stated that genome sequencing will be completed by tomorrow morning.
There is currently 23 locations of interest, 10 in Auckland and 13 in Coromandel. Current locations of interest can be found here.
The case has no links to the border and interviews are currently being undertaken with the case to find any possible locations of interest and how they came to be in contact with Covid-19.
Here's what you need to know:
- A refresh on Level restrictions and what it means for you.
- Here are the locations of interest.
- If you have any flu-like symptoms, call the NZ Covid-19 Healthline on 0800 358 5453 or ring your GP.
- Find your closest Covid-19 testing location on the Healthpoint website
- Essential services such as supermarkets and pharmacies will remain open.

"There have been some epic grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) battles in the back garden the past couple of weeks – well, as epic as it gets for something that weighs in at 6g. What I assume are three males have been wittering away and chasing each other around quite a small area when they disagree about who won the singing competition – little flashes of aerodynamic grey fluff battling for supremacy of the Acer palmatum conveniently sandwiched between a camellia, a kowhai, and a robust trellis covered in potato vine they seem to like climbing in. Having grey warblers in permanent residence here in Woburn, Lower Hutt is quite new (at least in my garden), with them only having turned up earlier this year. I hope they don’t exhaust themselves before they get to do any actual courting. This was taken last week, it is pouring with rain today so a temporary cease fire has been called. Fingers crossed they nest here."
Have you ever used the phrase “I must be getting old” to justify the fact that you feel stiff and slow, or that you “have a bad back”?

It is normally one Pet of the Day a week but this picture of Samba is just so good it could not be left out. Samba belongs to Anne and Sean Mulcahy from Carterton.

Bought a packet of Pascall Explorers ( billed as "the coolest lollies around" ) from the supermarket as part of a mixture for a lolly cake.
The packet says e150g which I take to mean estimate of 150 gram inside packet.
Well the packet weighed in at 114 gram.
Pretty poor, eh?

Pascall's changed the name of the product from Eskimos to Explorers a short time ago.
Maybe I should email the company in Australia.

Compulsory/mandatory vaccinations will come eventually I am sure at least in many occupations and industries.
A legitimate vaccination and covid tested passport will be issued eventually and will need to be produced for entry to many places and transport.
The weight of believeable science and proof of success of covid vaccines are too great to deny any further.
Let's help each other (neighbourly) and ourselves by getting vaccinated. We have the best vaccine on the "market" and it's available free. It will combat to an effective degree all the known strains of the virus.
The Hutt Valley Horticultural Society and Wellington Bonsai Club are hosting a spring show at the Lower Hutt Event Centre, on the first weekend of September. It promises to be a great blast of spring colour, for those that love daffodils, camellias, bonsai and more.
