Thanks,

I'm worried about all the changes that have happened in my life but hoping to find a loving home to call my own. I am looking for an experienced person to care for me, and who has the patience to bring me out of my shell. My previous fosterer says that I can be a sweet girl in time, it just takes me a while to settle in. I enjoy playing with toys once I am comfortable and also hanging out next to humans I trust. I do have a small health concern to discuss. If you would like to meet me please don't hesitate to apply."

Graphs show combined data from the Capital and Coast and Hutt Valley DHBs.

New case numbers have been bouncing around but the rolling average is still trending slowly downward.

The active cases graph looks weird because the Ministry has changed the category definition a couple of times to align with changes to isolation requirements. Most of the big drop on 18 March was due to this change, but the main takeaway is that active cases in the Wellington area are currently declining.

Hospitalisations are still up there, so take extra care to stay safe and healthy folks; we want to minimise the pressure on our hospitals.
