Community based assessment centres (CBACs)
Our Community based assessment centres (CBACs) are working hard to test people with COVID-19 symptoms across our region. If you don’t have symptoms you don’t need to get a test – unless you are a close contact of a confirmed case or are directed to by a health official.
If you work at the border, ports, or a managed isolation or quarantine facility you will be tested at work.
If you DO have symptoms, please call Healthline 0508 358 5453 or your GP for advice first. If you are offered a test, please take it.
Some Choice News!
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!
