Stay safe, stay home, COVID-19 message from Councillor Bartley
Aucklanders need to keep playing their part by following Alert Level 3 guidelines so that together we can stop the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, says Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Ward Councillor Josephine Bartley.
The Government’s decision to move Auckland to alert level 3 until 26 August after a new outbreak of the virus means everyone in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki neighbourhoods once again has a role to play by staying home and staying local when they go out to shop or exercise.
“Our communities were really good the last time around, and so they know what to do. It is quite simple. Stay away from public amenities, wear a mask when in public, stay home when you can and together we can make sure this is over as quickly as possible," explains Bartley.

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!
