HOME SWEET HOME We’re in this together

One fight, one family – that’s the message from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who has urged New Zealanders to “do what we do best” and come together to beat the threat of COVID-19.

Of course, this has meant the lockdown we’re all experiencing – at least four weeks of almost everyone in the country staying put to limit the virus’ spread.

Remaining at home for that long might sound daunting, but self-isolation is the best way to get on top of the virus, and though we’re all in uncharted waters, we’re in them together.

We need not worry. Food and medicine will remain available, essential services such as rubbish collection will continue, and other vital businesses will remain open.

Support is just a phone call or email away, whether you need advice about money, your employment rights or your health – physical and mental.
