Auckland hotel put into lockdown after report of new Covid-19 case

Brian from New Lynn

That brings the total number of current cases in the country to eight, with Ministry of Health officially announcing another two new cases yesterday. Former RNZ reporter Alexa Cook who arrived in the country from the UK on 13 June, said they were rung on their hotel room's phone by a member of the Defence Force around 8.30pm last evening, and told to stay in their rooms until receiving further instructions. The Defence Force did not tell her how many people had been tested today but said the new case is in one bubble. She says around 300 people staying in the hotel are all confined to their rooms. The Prime Minister's office, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Health are declining to comment ahead of today's media briefing.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
