Thank you for using Neighbourly
The instruction to cough or sneeze into your ELBOW is totally wrong - you would need to be a contortionist to do so!
The CORRECT instruction should be if you cough or sneeze do it in THE CROOK of your elbow.
Maybe the person who has a drone that likes to hover it over my house best put it away. Don’t like nosy people and their toys

The more we move around the more this virus has a chance to move.
This is why we are in lockdown.
I hate to think what will happen to us when there is a community outbreak, no one will be allowed out of their property then!
I see so many posts of people wanting this and that, we all have to suck it up and do our bit to protect our selves and our community.
This is a crucial time. You might be tempted to leave the house this weekend to enjoy your free time. But it’s incredibly important that you don’t revert back to ‘normal life’.

Remember why we are all taking these extreme measures. Stay home. Save lives. This breaks the chain and stops the virus spreading.
How to break the chain, and protect us all:
STOP THE MOVEMENT
The virus is spread by us. It can’t move by itself. So we all need to avoid moving around as much as possible, eg:
● don't travel to and from baches or second homes
● avoid driving out of your neighbourhood
● don't travel across the country in campervans
● note that DOC has closed all of its campsites and huts.
KEEP EXERCISE LOCAL
There are very few exceptions to staying home, but exercise is one of them. Going for a walk, run or bike ride is good for your mental health. Just remember to:
● stay close to home. Enjoy your neighbourhood, but go no further
● keep it solitary, or only with those you live with
● keep a 2 metre distance from others.
DO SAFE ACTIVITIES ONLY
● Our emergency services need to be fully available to respond to COVID-19 cases. Any search and rescue operation reduces the ability of first responders to help others.
● Do your bit to help them by only undertaking safe activities, and avoiding going into areas where you could get lost or hurt and require their help. Avoid outdoor activities like swimming, surfing, tramping, or boating, hunting or hiking.
AVOID PUBLIC SPACES
● All bars, restaurants, cafes, gyms, cinemas, pools, museums, libraries and playgrounds are closed.
● Avoid places like beaches where people commonly linger, or are unable to maintain a 2 metre distance.
● Don't touch surfaces others may have touched when outdoors, like park benches or playgrounds.
When you return home carefully wash your hands, and any items you took with you outdoors.

Could I please ask people to be a bit more aware of those that are trying to keep that physical distance away from others, esp when they are in the 'at risk' category?

One of the few things I can do is walk my dog, and last night I took her to the beach at South New Brighton about 6.30 pm. As I got to the beach end of the narrow pathway, a man stood, talking to his young son, blocking the way. I stopped but they didn't move, so I had to walk over the dunes, with my shaky balance, while keeping a rein on my excited dog. Please be aware, people!

We are sure that by now you are all aware of the current 'lock down' of the nation due to the global pandemic, COVID-19.
What this means for hospitality businesses such as ours, is we are closed until further notice.
Hopefully after these next 4 weeks, our country will be out of this Level 4 danger zone, and soon after that hospitality businesses like ours will be able to re-open, and serve our communities.
We hope we can see you all in the near future, be sure to check our facebook page for any re-opening specials and new menu items.
Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy.
With love, Jade and Johnnie from Fu Manchu and Johnnie Nachos.
