COVID-19 community cases in South Auckland - important info!

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

We have beaten COVID-19 before and together we can do it again!

Health officials are getting in touch with all students and staff at Papatoetoe High School and asking them and the people they live with to stay at home and get a COVID-19 test. There will be testing for people in this group available on-site at Papatoetoe High School tomorrow - Monday, 15 February.

Anyone who was at Pak’n Save Manukau on Friday 12 February between 3.45pm - 5pm also needs to stay at home and get a test on Wednesday 17 February. It’s important you stay at home until you receive a negative result. If you were at Pak’n Save, but at a different time, you do not need to be tested.

If you need wellbeing support you can contact The Fono on 0800 366 648.

If you are not in one of these groups and have not been advised by Auckland Regional Public Health Service that you are a close contact, you do not need to be tested. Please leave testing for those who are at the highest risk. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, please follow our normal advice and call your GP or Healthline for advice on getting a test.

CTCs in Auckland are open extended hours today. To find testing locations in metro Auckland, visitwww.arphs.health.nz/covid19test For up-to-date information on all testing locations, please call Healthline (0800 358 5453) or visit www.healthpoint.co.nz...

Remember: wash your hands, scan QR codes with the COVID-19 Tracer app, stay home if you're sick and wear a face covering on public transport. You got this whaanau! #uniteagainstcovid19

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
