Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

The figures were not available for each week over Xmas/New Year but the new cases for last week are correct and we are in the throws of another 'wave' which Xmas will surely have contributed to, although it was rising pre-Xmas.
If you have or think you have COVID-19, please do not keep it a secret from workmates, let them have the choice to take a risk working with you, or not, or wear a mask, even if you will not.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
