Alert Level 3 is a milestone in our struggle against COVID-19. We are all responsible for what happens next. Every contact we make is a chance for the virus to spread.

We could easily lose what we have gained. Our success, or failure, depends on the decisions that we’ll each make alone – but which in turn – will affect all of us.
Two weeks then a review
• On 11 May, we will review our progress and decide if we can safely continue to step down restrictions, or if more measures are required to protect us all.
• So the decisions we each make now, matter. Because every interaction we have is an opportunity for the virus to spread.
Keeping safe at Alert Level 3
• At Alert Level 3, the best way to keep those around you safe, is by keeping your bubble small. Interact with as few people as possible. Less people equals less risk. And continue to stay at home whenever you can.
• We should each be making the minimal number of trips. Be sure to stay local, and only make necessary trips.
• And importantly, work and learn from home if you can.
Let’s do this
We’re a team of 5 million. Formidable. And we can do this.
So thank you New Zealand for making the right decisions, when it really counts.

Tips to keep your dentures in top shape:
Clean daily. Brush them like your natural teeth - but DON’T use toothpaste, as it can damage dentures. Instead, use a soft-bristle denture brush and water to clean the surface. Rinse dentures with water after each meal. Use only specialised denture cleaners for soaking but remember that this is no substitute for brushing. Brushing removes plaque.
If you are not wearing them, soak in cool water or a denture cleaning solution to stop them from drying out. Be careful of industrial cleaning solutions as Metal based dentures can tarnish. Do not soak dentures in hot water - they could warp.
Remove them every night to allow your gums to rest.,
How long do dentures last?
If you take care of your dentures, you should get 5-7 years of wear out of them before they need replacing. Over time, your dentures will need to be relined, remade, or rebased due to normal wear and tear. As you age, your mouth naturally changes. These changes cause your dentures to loosen which can irritate your gums and making chewing difficult.

Wattle Downs resident Shannon Tahu and his daughters Eliza, 8, and Mena, 11, built the memorial on their fence and the grass outside their Hobart Cres property using things they had lying around the house.
The brightly coloured mural depicts the silhouettes of two service members guarding a cross. The rest of the fence has been decorated with wooden poppies, as well as poppies from locals.
Twenty-five white crosses stand proudly in front of the mural, one for each of the 22 Kiwis awarded a Victoria Cross.
