New COVID-19 testing centres in Counties Manukau

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

COVID-19 testing centres are now running in Botany, Takanini and Papatoetoe this week - check out the images below for dates and times.

Remember a few key tips if you need to get a test:
- Wear a mask or face covering when you go to get your test.
- If you know your NHI number please have this handy.
- Ensure you have a working cellphone number – this is important to notify you of your test result.
- It’s important the right people have access to testing. If you were not at a location of interest at the stated times and you have no symptoms you do not need to be tested.

For a full list of locations of interest, visit the Ministry of Health website: bit.ly...

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, please follow our normal advice: stay home and call your family doctor or Healthline (0800 358 5453) for advice on getting a test.

Please be patient and kind to our health care professionals. For more information on all testing site locations in Auckland, please visit: www.arphs.health.nz...

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
