But how do you prepare for staying at home for a two-week period? Kiwis have been told not to bulk buy, and some won’t be able to afford to buy two weeks’ worth of supplies at once, but gradually adding extra items to your grocery list can build up your stock. According to New Zealand Civil Defence, during a pandemic or a prolonged emergency you will need a two-week stock of food and water.
Here is a list of food items that can easily be stored for two weeks:
======================================================
Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, and vegetables.
Canned juice, milk, and soup.
High-energy foods such as peanut butter, jam, salt-free crackers and energy bars.
Trail mix (pre-packaged or homemade).
Comfort foods such as hard sweets, sweetened cereals, snack bars, and biscuits.
Instant coffee, tea bags.
Compressed food bars. They store well, are lightweight, taste good, and are nutritious.
Dried foods. They can be nutritious and satisfying, but may contain a lot of salt, which promotes thirst. If salt is a problem, used dried fruit, like raisins.
Freeze-dried foods. They are tasty and lightweight.
Whole-grain cereals (oatmeal, whole-wheat, multi-grain).
Instant meals. Cups of noodles or cups of soup are a good addition.
Snack-sized canned goods, which generally have pull-top lids or twist-open keys.
Pre-packaged beverages. Those in foil packets and foil-lined boxes are sealed and will keep for a long time if the seal is not broken.
=====================================================
Other items that you may need to consider depending on your personal circumstances are:
=====================================================
Medications – you should check with your chemist about storage requirements for any medications your taking. Pain relievers and contact lenses and solutions are other medical supplies you may need.
Items for young children, including nappies, bottles, dummies, powdered milk and formula.
Detergent, feminine supplies, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, comb and brush, lip balm, sunscreen, heavy-duty plastic garbage bags and ties, medium-sized plastic bucket with tight lid, disinfectant, household chlorine bleach.
Sanitation and hygiene items: toilet paper, towelettes, soap, hand sanitiser liquid.
First aid kit for common injuries.
==============================
Look after your mental health as well
==============================
Two weeks of staying home can seem like a long time for people and looking after your mental health is also important.
Civil Defence suggests making sure you also think about ways you can entertain yourself with books and other forms of entertainment and ways to occupy your children.
You can find more information on preparing for self-quarantine here from Civil Defence here.
If you are returning to New Zealand from overseas or don’t have a stock at home and have suddenly been required to self-quarantine you can order any item you need online. Family or friends can also drop supplies at your door.

So we want to provide members and visitors with reassurance that we've been ensuring our procedures are correct and we are keeping our members and visitors safe and protected from Covid-19.
Some of the protocol we have in place includes:
-All bowls equipment will be cleaned with antiseptic spray before and after sessions.
-Spray and wipe cloths will be available for use during hires.
-Disposable gloves are also available- or bring your own.
-We've retrained our stewards in hand washing protocol and stressed to them the importance of staying home if they are feeling unwell.
-The pay-to-play hand stamp system will be replaced by a ticket system.
-Stewards only in the locker/bowls room.
-One rink separation between playing rinks. Maximum of 6 rinks open at one time to allow for social distancing, so might pay to book one in advance to ensure you can play. Bookings can be made here: docs.google.com...
As we won’t be taking a deposit, and to be fair to everyone, rinks will be released 15min after booked time if not paid for at the venue.
Our absolute top priority remains the health, safety and well-being of our visitors, members, and community.
Additionally, all memberships purchased from March 1st will be valid until end of season 2021.
So, here are the additional club rules until further notice:
_______________________________________
1/ If you are feeling unwell or presenting any symptoms of illness – DO NOT ENTER THE VENUE.
2/ On arrival ALL MEMBERS & VISITORS are requested to wash their hands. We will have Hand Sanitiser available outside the match room as soon as possible. Please no "touchers"- shaking hands, high fives etc.
3/ Stewards ONLY in the locker/bowls room.
4/On the greens…
- One rink separation between playing rinks.
- Bowlers should not shake hands before or after the event – a simple “good bowls” statement will suffice;
- Bowlers should not pick up their opponents' or teammates' bowls;
- If any bowler or official is feeling unwell, coughing or sneezing – they should consider withdrawing from local bowls events;
- Bowlers should where possible maintain a distance of 1 meter from other bowlers; and
- Bowlers should wash their hands thoroughly before and after a game.
5/ All bowls equipment will be cleaned with antiseptic spray before and after sessions. Spray and wipe cloths, as well as disposable gloves, will be available for use during hires.
Stay well,
Steve King, Club Secretary

An affordable option to give you that Hollywood smile you’ve always dreamed of, giving you a major boost in your confidence and self-esteem. Here Dentic Denture Clinic aim to answer a few commonly asked questions to help you understand more about dentures.
1) When should I replace my dentures?
Over the time, you may find your dentures become loose and ill-fitting as your gum resorbs and shrinks. Difficulty in chewing and frequently experiencing tired and sore gum are symptoms that indicate your denture is due for a replacement.
2) I plan to have teeth removed but don’t want to seen without teeth, what should I do?
Immediate dentures are made prior to teeth removal so that on the day of your extractions your missing teeth can be instantly replaced with a denture.
3) I have a few missing teeth, I’m not sure if I need dentures?
A common misconception is that you need to lose all your teeth before getting dentures. However, there are types of dentures that only replace a few missing teeth too.
4) I recently broke/ lost my dentures, do you provide quotes?
Dentic Denture Clinic offers same-day repairs. However, if your dentures cannot be repaired, Dentic provide free Work and Income (WINZ) and insurance quote at no obligation
To inquire, please contact Dentic Denture Clinic at 09 948 2202 or visit the clinic at 201 Taylor Street, Blockhouse Bay, Auckland for a free consultation with no obligation.
What are you waiting for, it’s time to smile.

Coughing and sneezing into the elbow can really help reduce the spread of germs by not getting them on the hands, and greatly reducing the risk of spray spreading around onto other people. Obviously keep washing hands and drying thoroughly but this is not possible to do when out and about. Never cough or sneeze into tissue or hands.
