COVID-19 free assessement and testing centres
Hey neighbours, Waikato DHB needs to test more people for COVID-19 to protect our community. The DHB has set up a number of Community Based Assessment Centres (CBACs) throughout the Waikato, to assess and test people.
You can help Waikato beat COVID 19. If you have any of the following symptoms - a cough, a high temperature, shortness of breath, a sore throat, sneezing, a runny nose, or a temporary loss of smell - get to your local Waikato CBAC to be assessed.
They are open every day - no bookings or referrals needed. It is safe to travel here during lockdown.
Find your nearest CBAC now at: www.waikatodhb.health.nz/cbac

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)
