Hutt Hospital faces influx of Covid-19 patients amid staff shortages

Reporter Community News

Covid is having a big impact on Hutt Hospital. Up to one in three patients coming through Hutt Hospital's emergency department have Covid-19. At the same time as dealing with the influx of Covid patients, the ED was having to scramble to fill holes in the roster.
About 800 doctors and nurses at Wellington's three hospitals have been off sick or in isolation this week – that is nearly 15 per cent of the clinical workforce.

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!
