Contact your family doctor if you are unwell
Please continue to contact your family doctor for any healthcare needs, including if you have COVID-19 symptoms.
Over 40,000 people in our region have been tested for COVID-19.
This is thanks to a massive effort by people in the region, including community and primary healthcare staff, laboratory workers and DHB staff who put in the hard yards to identify and stop the spread of COVID-19.
People can get tested if they have at least one of the following symptoms: cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath, loss of smell or fever.
There are two Pasifika Health providers tailored for Pasifika and Maaori people – Langimalie Health Centre in Panmure and South Seas Healthcare in Otara, and people are welcome to go there if they fit the testing criteria.
Large families are now included as a priority group for COVID-19 testing.
More Community-Based Assessment Centres for COVID-19, means more people in our community can be tested.
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.
