"We are now entering a time where families are separated into individual household bubbles and unable to communicate and interact the way they normally do. Our neighbours are the ones who can step up and help."

The Government has banned events of more than 500 people to halt the spread of the COVID-19 virus, a measure that will hit an already bruised economy after sweeping travel restrictions last week.

Dan Boyd, co-owner of herbs and spices supplier Raptor Naturals, said the business has been rocked by the cancellation of the Central District Field Days and other significant shows.

It relies on sales from big events for 30 per cent of its revenue.

More than 600 stands will also lose out on the benefits of the event.

What businesses in your area are feeling the pinch? Do you think they will survive the outbreak?

Mōrena kiritata,

A 30-year-old woman is the second person in New Zealand to have a confirmed case of Convid-19.

She flew from Italy through Singapore to Auckland, jumped on another plane to Palmerston North on Monday and returned to Auckland on the same day.

She spent 5 hours in Palmerston North carrying the virus.

Some people have said she should have quarantined herself before travelling to the Palmerston North. Would you have done that?
