Just a recap...New Zealand's self-isolation rules
***avoid contact with people who aren't in your self-isolation 'bubble' (people who are sharing the home with you), meaning no visitors
***maintain a two-metre distance between yourself and others when outside the home
***avoid sharing crockery, cutlery, towels, pillows or beds with others in the home
***maintain regular cleaning and sanitising of surfaces and household items
***wash your hands frequently
***practice good coughing and sneezing etiquette
***avoid communal/shared areas in the home as much as possible and clean them well after each use
***only leave the house for essential reasons, including to buy supplies from essential businesses or to take exercise within your community. ***Follow social distancing guidelines and avoid contact with others
***stay home if you are feeling unwell and avoid contact with others in the home
***if you are ill or have compromised immunity, friends, family members or delivery services can drop groceries and supplies at your door.

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)
.
