What should we do about the coronavirus epidemic / pandemic ?

Jessica Brown from Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu

We’ve been getting a few enquiries about the coronavirus. We recognise that news of the virus’s spread is causing concern to people and have put together some information, see the attached link.
This includes:
• steps to take to avoid infection,
• making a plan, in case you have to stay home for an extended period of time, and
• what to do if you may have had contact with someone with the virus and start to feel unwell.

You can also check for Ministry of Health updates on their website - please see attached MOH link.

Please note: at this time there are no confirmed cases of the coronavirus in New Zealand. The Ministry of Health advise that it’s likely the virus will reach our shores but that the likelihood of a widespread outbreaks is low. The Ministry of Health will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
