Doctor calls for help supporting local businesses and hospital staff
A doctor is putting out a call-out for local businesses doing contactless deliveries so hospital staff can know where to find them.
Contactless deliveries from butchers, bakeries and green-grocers can continue under alert level 4.
Ponsonby resident Dr Steph Addison said health workers have been under pressure since last week’s snap lockdown.
“This lockdowns come on quickly, and we’re busy working and dealing with all of the changes in terms of our workplace, organising childcare,”
“So you don’t really have a lot of time to sit online and see where is delivering where to get things.”
Addison said she felt this was a good way to support local businesses as well help out her colleagues.
“I thought it might help the people at work to know where they can get some really nice supplies to keep them going,” she said.
“To cheer people up with some nice food and drink during the lockdown, and help some local businesses as well.”
Can you recommend a business doing contactless deliveries to help health workers?
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
