COVID-19 is the problem, not the people - please show compassion during this time
We appreciate this can be a scary time for a lot of whaanau – especially with all the misinformation on COVID-19 floating around on social media. Please keep in mind that the virus is the problem – not the people. Let’s show manaakitanga and aroha to one another.
Remember - you've got this! Wash your hands, 2 metre physical distance and go and get tested if you’ve got any of the symptoms – please call your doctor to get a test first. All testing is FREE.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
