Good afternoon,

I am a third-year medical student home from Otago for the summer holidays. Due to covid, my after-school care job could not start, and was wondering if anyone needed any child-minding, specifically prior to Christmas. I have previous work in child-minding and thoroughly enjoy spending time with kids as this has encouraged my interest in hopefully being a pediatrician.
I am fully available until Christmas, have access to my own car, full driver's license, first aid certificate, and am fully vaccinated.

Kind Regards,
Shani

While there is nothing wrong with conditions or covenants being imposed by a lender, borrowers need to be comfortable that they can comply with these and that there are no adverse implications on the business or any party involved.

22 Nov 2021 - Ministry of Health’s practical guidances on managing Covid isolation in apartments, complete with a check list and FAQ.

Makes giving building management instruction much easier.

It can never cover every eventuality of living in apartments, but along with all our other good habits & practices (MASK UP everyone!) - creates more certainty & alleviates some anxiety.

Many were keen to know whether apartment residents can expect to be informed if there is a case in their building - the answer to that is 'No', currently at least.

There was a lot of legal back and forth on this issue. Maybe more detail in the next cut of advice.

* Some residents, staff and contractors may be considered close contacts and will also need to quarantine at home. Public Health will advise those individuals directly.

* It is important that residents, contractors or staff member with COVID-19 or their apartment number. This is confidential information and should not be disclosed to others.

Body Corporates and other structures that manage apartment buildings have to ensure the H&S of everyone, while also following the laws around privacy.
It can be a bit of juggling act.
