What should we do about the coronavirus epidemic or pandemic?

Theresa Evans from Citizens Advice Bureau North Canterbury

Nationally, CABs have been getting a few enquiries about the coronavirus. We recognise that news of the virus’s spread is causing concern to people and have put together some information www.cab.org.nz.... This includes:
• steps to take to avoid infection,
• making a plan, in case you have to stay home for an extended period of time, and
• what to do if you may have had contact with someone with the virus and start to feel unwell.

You can also check for Ministry of Health updates here www.health.govt.nz....

Please note: at this time there are no confirmed cases of the coronavirus in New Zealand. The Ministry of Health advise that it’s likely the virus will reach our shores but that the likelihood of a widespread outbreaks is low. The Ministry of Health will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
