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

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
