Poll: Do you think mask wearing in public should be made compulsory?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

A student who was infectious with Covid-19 may have lowered the number of people she infected by wearing a mask at work in Auckland's CBD.

The student's decision to mask-up might have mitigated the number of secondary infections, said physicist and disease modeller Professor Shaun Hendy.

A neighbour of the woman returned a weak positive result on Saturday.

While 5400 tests were done in Auckland alone, no new community cases were revealed.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
