Protecting our vulnerable, 215 cases

There are 215 new cases today and 3 people remain in hospital. How are you going to slow the spread of Omicron this weekend?

Do you know anyone in the categories below?

• someone over 70 years old with a medical condition

They are our vulnerable people. They’re at risk of severe illness if they get COVID. We need to protect them.

Here’s how:

1. Get yourself and your tamariki vaccinated

2. Mask up whenever possible outside your home bubble

3. Keep your distance from others, avoid kissing or hugging extended whānau

4. Wash your hands regularly

5. Get tested if feeling even a little fluey

6. Report your test and self-isolate
