If they don't like it tough. Arrive in Auckland or Wellington etc, without any sense of the hazards generated in teaching final destination. The govt dropped the ball on this. The naivety of many NZers is astounding

As the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continue to evolve, we are taking advice from the official government sites and so we are implementing these measures to protect the health of our customers and our volunteers, while ensuring our on-line services continue to operate as normal.
Our books are still available for purchase via the website shop on line pages.
Contact us by email at writersplotreadersread@outlook.com or message us through our facebook page and we can arrange pick up from the shop or drop off for local (Upper Hutt) customers.

We will be providing consultations by phone, email or video.
If you have a pre-booked appointment, your doctor or nurse will contact you via one of these methods. If they feel it is necessary to see you face-to-face they will organise this with you.
If you need to book an appointment, you must contact us by telephone or Manage My Health first.
If you have been advised by the government to self isolate (eg you are 70 years of age of older or immunocompromised) and need medical assistance, please contact us by telephone or Manage My Health so we can help you. We have local pharmacies who can assist with home delivery of medication.
To free up capacity in our services, we encourage you to consider postponing your routine appointments this week.
To help reduce the burden at After Hours facilities during this extremely bust time, we encourage all of our patients to contact Silverstream Health Centre when we have our highest level of staffing (between weekdays 9am and 5pm).
We will not be making face-to-face booking for the following non-urgent appointments:
Routine nurse appointments e.g. smears/wart treatment/ear syringes/blood pressure checks
Scripts will be faxed to your pharmacy to reduce person to person contact so you will need to let us know your normal pharmacy.
Please do not stockpile medications. It is critical for us to maintain access to medicines across our community.
We will provide further updates on flu vaccination clinics and you can be reassured that patients at highest risk of complications from influenza will be prioritised as a matter of urgency.
We are taking these measures to try and reduce the spread of COVID-19, to protect everyone in the community and to be able to continue caring for those most vulnerable.
We know public transport is an essential service, and we’re focussed on ensuring you continue to have access to our region’s network during this time.
Listen to Scott Gallacher, General Manager for Metlink, explain the measures we are putting in place to stay one step ahead of COVID-19.

About 70 of Metlink’s 500 bus drivers are aged 70 or over and in accordance with the Ministry of Health guidelines, they are advised to remain at home. Less drivers means there will need to be cancellations to some services across the bus network.
We are currently looking at where cancellations will need to take place and are encouraging Metlink customers to keep up to date with service changes by checking Metlink’s website, App and Real Time Information screens.

We plan for ten years into the future based on the needs and aspirations of our community. We review these plans every three years to make sure any changing or emerging needs are taken into account. We now want to check in with you, to understand what’s important to you, and what you think we should focus on.
We have drafted a Sustainability Strategy and now we need your help. As a member of the Upper Hutt community, it’s important that you tell us what you think. We’ve proposed goals that we believe will set Upper Hutt on the right path to minimise our environmental impact, maximise remedial action, and role model sustainable community living.
This strategy belongs to everyone, so we want to make sure that our plans meet your expectations.
By taking time to engage with us, you are helping to create a better city for current and future generations to live in.
