Metlink is thanking Wellington commuters for their cooperation following the Government announcement that physical distancing is no longer required on public transport.

"We would like to thank everyone for their hard work complying with these measures on board our services for the last few weeks. This has been made possible by the your continued support for wearing face coverings on board public transport, which has made our services safer for both passengers and staff."

The Government still expects all New Zealanders to wear face coverings on public transport with exemptions only for school services, children under 12 years old, and passengers with disability and health concerns. Passengers should continue to follow the Government’s level 2 advice which includes logging their journeys using QR codes and the COVID-19 app, practicing good personal hygiene by washing and sanitising their hands before and after travelling, sneezing and coughing into their elbows and avoiding public transport completely if they are sick. Passengers can keep up to date with the Government’s latest alert level 2 measures on public transport through Metlink's social media, website and app.

A modern day Noah’s Ark traverses the country every month carrying one of the nation’s most treasured cargo - pets.

Petbus is Karyn McLauchlan’s solution to New Zealand’s impersonal and stressful pet transport options. McLauchlan used to be a dog breeder, and had a terrible experience transporting puppies by airline in 2004, with two puppies dying on the journey to Wellington.

Her solution was to deliver pets herself using a bus. The most unusual thing she has delivered is an ant farm but she has also moved peacocks, spiders and geese.

Wellington’s earthquake stricken central library could receive a category 1 heritage listing, despite being less than 30 years old.

Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is calling for the public submissions on the library’s heritage status, while Wellington City Council simultaneously considers the future of the building after it closed in March 2019 due to seismic concerns. Opened in 1991, the library, designed by Athfield Architects, was the centrepiece of Te Ngākau Civic Square.

Heritage New Zealand’s central region director Jamie Jacobs said heritage listing does not mean the building would be protected, and that decision would remain with the city council.

New Zealand should move away from hotels to a purpose-built managed isolation and quarantine facility, with pandemics set to be a fixture of the future, public health experts warn.

But while the Government says there are no plans for such a facility, it hasn’t ruled it out. Michael Baker, an epidemiologist at the University of Otago, said New Zealand was world-leading in biosecurity, but needed to invest in human biosecurity.

“Now we have to talk long-term about this,” he said.
