Have symptoms ...see your GP
"People who have symptoms or signs of cancer, or who are concerned that their existing cancer is worsening during lockdown should still be able to access healthcare," Dr Chris Jackson, oncologist. People should contact their own GP in the first instance.
The Cancer Society, lost significant funding due to the cancellation of fundraising events, has redesigned its services to support people remotely, and the society's nurses are still available. The 0800 cancer information line (0800 226-237) remains fully-staffed so people can call to discuss any concerns or questions they may have.
One thing that has not changed, the Cancer Society's Domain Lodge continues to provide free accommodation for Northland cancer patients travelling to Auckland, although access to the building was restricted to protect patients and to ensure that everyone remained in a 'bubble'.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

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.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
