Communications Response to Covid - What you need to know today
Go to the Te Puni Kōkiri web portal for more info about what is happening around the motu and the support available during COVID-19.
COVID-19 cases are trending downwards and we want to mihi the hard working kaimahi and volunteers providing social and health services, and our essential and frontline workers.
Our restrictions and tikanga hauora are working whānau, but do your bit by getting vaccinated, wearing a mask, scanning and getting tested if sick.
Aotearoa has plenty of vaccine and will get another additional 250,000 doses of Pfizer vaccine from Spain. These will arrive in Tāmaki Makaurau āpōpō.
About 1 in 5 Māori are currently vaccinated and we need to protect our pēpi and whānau. At Whānau ora agencies you can walk in without booking.
The Government has reprioritised up to $5 million to provide immediate relief to vulnerable whānau Māori and communities during the current COVID-19 outbreak focussing on Tāmaki Makaurau, Te Tai Tokerau and Northern Waikato.
South Waikato will be vaccinating the community from next week. Bookings can be made on www.bookmyvaccine.nz or through the national booking line on 0800 28 29 26.
