The Prime Minister and the Director-General of Health have provided an update to media in the Beehive.
Ardern has confirmed that health authorities have found a possible person to person link for how Case M and N picked up Covid-19. This could eliminate concern that there are other chains of transmission to identify.
Ashley Bloomfield asked people to keep an eye out for atypical symptoms
"This new variant of the virus, the B117, does seem to be presenting with symptoms that are not the typical respiratory symptoms," he said.
If you have muscle aches, do consider this might be a Covid-19 symptom.

Hi Auckland,

How worried are you about coastal erosion in Auckland?
Auckland's shoreline could recede by 200m by 2130 if little to no action on climate change is taken.
The report, titled "Predicting Auckland's exposure to coastal instability and erosion", details the impacts this will have on communities the Auckland region.
Sea level rise is notoriously difficult for scientists to follow and this has meant coastal erosion rates have been difficult to predict.
New Zealand's sea levels have risen an average 1.67mm per year since 1989, but the Ministry of Environment says this will accelerate if little action is taken on climate change.

Counties Manukau police have issued a warning to dirt bike riders to exercise caution after three separate incidents.
Three dirt bikes and two road bikes were seized on Sunday after people reported a group of riders hitting Musick Point in Bucklands Beach.
When police arrived on the scene, some riders dumped their bikes in the bushes and fled on foot.
Officers found five bikes, one of them stolen, with the help of from Howick Golf Course players and members of the community.
A young person was stopped at the scene and police enquiries are ongoing to identify the other bikers.
On Friday, police confiscated a quad bike after it was seen ripping up turf at Walter Massey Park.
The incident was reported to the council and more action is likely, police said.
On February 16, a quad bike rider without a helmet was injured after he crashed in Yates Rd, Mangere.
Police found a man with significant injuries being treated by ambulance staff at a house nearby.
Officers impounded two bikes from the address and said charges are likely.
People have reported dirt bikers getting injured after crashing into cars in Otara and Mangere Bridge in the past week.
During one incident, a male cyclist without a helmet drove through a red light in Otara and smashed into another vehicle, police said.
He suffered moderate injuries and was taken to hospital.
Counties Manukau policing manager inspector Kay Lane said it is only a matter of time before one of the riders is killed.
“In general these dirt bike riders show little regard for their own safety or the safety of those around them on the roads," Lane said.
“We are continuing to see riders put themselves and other motorists in significant danger by driving recklessly, carrying out dangerous stunts and failing to wear helmets.
Police are appealing to the bikers to stop putting themselves and other road users at risk.
"It may seem like fun until one of your mates is seriously hurt," said Lane.
It is illegal to ride a dirt bike on the road unless it is roadworthy with a current warrant and registration, police said.
Anyone riding a bike with an engine capacity above 50cc must have a motorbike licence.
Police are calling on parents and family members to make sure the bikers, some of them youths, are driving safely and wearing helmets.
“The last thing we want is to have to knock on your door and tell you that your loved one has been killed or seriously injured in a crash," Lane said.
Investigations are continuing into the Waitangi Day mass cavalcade of 170 bikes as officers review CCTV footage.
If you have footage of dirt bike riders driving dangerously, you can upload it here: dirtbike.nzpolice.org...

You can also phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

As students adjusted to the shift in their educational environment, many schools were ill-prepared to move to quickly to online learning. Schools such as St Peter’s in Cambridge were readily prepared for a seamless transfer between classroom and digital learning.
With each student ready to use online platforms such as Google Classroom and Hangouts, a streamlined shift was enabled as soon as the lockdown occurred.
Find out why more families are choosing St Peter’s at our Open Day on 12 March.

Because they are the same profile you can use then all in one area just adjust the amount of base you use to take up the different thickness. If you need the full 11.6mSq then you can use the grey ones to make a path or dot them at random for interest. There is also a small stack if sand and some base course/rubble you can have too.
Located in Howick. Trailer available if necessary. May take more than 1 trip.
A few dollars for Hospice would be nice
