Hi neighbours,
Today is the beginning of our nationwide lockdown, so Operatunity is marking it with some music!
They plan to do it as often as they can through-out the four weeks, given they can't get out and about in the community.
They've rallied all the Operatunity artists to produce their own virtual concerts. Some footage is from their archives, some shot on phones and some was recorded before the lockdown.
There will be a variety of songs, singers and musicians over the next few weeks.
So if you want to check out today's one, head along to the link below.

Waipa District Council has issued a number of important press releases over the past week. Here are some key points you should take note of:

1. The move to alert level 4 means the council has put on hold all major projects, including work on the Cambridge Pool, Te Awamutu Water Supply, Waikeria Wastewater Pipeline, the new roundabout on Hanlin Rd outside St Peter’s and the velodrome.

2. The council has set up an executive committee to make decisions on its behalf during the level 4 period. The committee will have the power to make decisions on most governing matters.

3. Essential services such as recycling, road safety, water, customer support and animal control will continue to operate throughout the four-week shutdown.

Key services include:
* Customer support via telephone and online.
* Essential water services such as repairs to waste water connections and major water leaks.
* Parks services such as treescaping and line clearance when urgently required.
* Cemetery duties.
* Road safety, essential repairs to roading where necessary and monitoring of high-risk roads.
* Recycling.
* Urgent animal control work where there is a risk to the public and continued operation of the pounds.
* Urgent building compliance work where there is a risk to public safety.

4. The water alert level has been eased for Te Awamutu, Pirongia, Ohaupo and rural surrounds. It has been downgraded to level two, allowing outdoor watering for the first time since 12 February. Cambridge and Kihikihi water levels have now been lifted and residents can continue with their regular use as normal.

5. Citizenship ceremonies have been cancelled. Internal Affairs has agreed to waive the requirement for new citizens to attend citizenship ceremonies. Internal Affairs will now issue citizenship certificates to all applicants who have been approved for a grant of citizenship.

We’re now at Alert Level 4. Stay home. Save lives.

New Zealand Government

Dear concerned citizen,

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.

Dear concerned citizen,

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.

Level 4 measures will likely be in place for a number of weeks.

Don’t worry. During that time you will still be able to access all the essentials you need, including medicine, food, and other home supplies.

ALL THE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS
It’s incredibly important that we all follow the Level 4 plan, all the time. No exceptions. Because doing so will save lives.

A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE
We realise these are big changes. But these are challenging times.
If we don't all stay home, the whole country will need Level 4 restrictions for longer.

SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PEOPLE
We owe it to the essential services. Our nurses, doctors and everyone else on the frontline. They’re working tirelessly to save lives. We should all do everything in our power to help them do this.
Thank you to each and every person, for doing their bit.

While you’re staying at home:

STAY CONNECTED
• Don’t let physical distance stop you staying connected. Keep in touch with people using video calls, phone calls, chat and texting.
• If you know people who are living alone, vulnerable, or separated from their loved ones, regularly check-in with them.

STAY WELL
• Continue to practice good hygiene – wash your hands with soap. Then dry.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your home with disinfectant.
• Keep up regular physical exercise, and get some fresh air when possible. It’s good so long as this is solitary, or only with those you live with.

REACH OUT
If you need advice, support or help, try reaching out to friends, family, whānau or workmates.

WE'RE UPDATING INFORMATION CONSTANTLY
For all the latest advice, including answers to your health and financial questions, go to Covid19.govt.nz.

And remember: what you do now, will help protect all of us.
