Are you OK?
Your emotional and mental wellbeing is important. It is normal to feel stressed or lonely when self-isolating, but there are some things you can do to feel better.
Even if you are not sick you may be feeling anxious about COVID-19. This is normal.
Reach out to your family and whānau, friends and workmates. Sharing how we feel and offering support to others is important.
We want to remind you that if you or someone you know is struggling right now, there is free help available.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Blue Christmas Service, Pukekohe
7.30pm Thursday, December 18, at Pukekohe Anglican Church, cnr of Queen St and Wesley St.
What is a "Blue Christmas" servicе?
These services are held in churches around the world to offer a space for people to gather in the lead-up to Christmas. It acknowledges that for some, Christmas can be a sad and difficult time due to various losses experienced during the year, or because grief processes are still being worked through. It
recognises that it is painful to have people missing from our Christmas table and celebrations.
We open the invitation to anyone who is remembering the death of a loved one, or who faces a difficult Christmas season for other reasons, such as ill health, redundancy, separation, loneliness and so on.
There will be an opportunity to light candles and to hear words of comfort and reassurance. Please extend this invitation to anyone you know of who may appreciate it – family, neighbours, work colleagues and so on.
We hope to see you at St Andrew's (43 Queen St, Pukekohe) at 7.30pm on Thursday, December 18.
