Kāpiti council reminds everyone to stay at home

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

The Kāpiti District Council is reminding everyone to stay at home, now we are at Alert Level 4.

"This means we must stay at home in our bubbles, mask up and maintain physical distancing when we go out to access essential services or light exercise. All our pools, libraries and Council service centres are closed. Our playgrounds are also closed but they are not taped off due to the short notice we had to move to Alert Level 4 and the need to keep our people safe – the Delta variant is a very different beast and we are not prepared to put our people, who are your friends and neighbours, at risk. The Prime Minister has made it very clear that the use of playgrounds is strictly prohibited so please do the right thing and follow the Alert Level 4 rules. We appreciate that this is a very unsettling time for everyone and we’ll do our best to keep you informed. Our call centre is still operating so if you need urgent assistance you can contact us on 0800 486 486 (if it’s an emergency situation please call 111).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
