Just a recap...New Zealand's self-isolation rules
***avoid contact with people who aren't in your self-isolation 'bubble' (people who are sharing the home with you), meaning no visitors
***maintain a two-metre distance between yourself and others when outside the home
***avoid sharing crockery, cutlery, towels, pillows or beds with others in the home
***maintain regular cleaning and sanitising of surfaces and household items
***wash your hands frequently
***practice good coughing and sneezing etiquette
***avoid communal/shared areas in the home as much as possible and clean them well after each use
***only leave the house for essential reasons, including to buy supplies from essential businesses or to take exercise within your community. ***Follow social distancing guidelines and avoid contact with others
***stay home if you are feeling unwell and avoid contact with others in the home
***if you are ill or have compromised immunity, friends, family members or delivery services can drop groceries and supplies at your door.
