Important Notes from CNA

As the Government has announced Auckland will move to Alert Level 3 and that the rest of New Zealand will move to Alert Level 2, we need to remember to keep calm, and keep kind.

CNA has updated its Covid-19 Response page - you can find out how to create a QR Covid Poster for your organisation to track contacts. You can also find where to download the Tracer App if you haven't already - we must be vigilant.

We will again be sending information to relevant agencies to keep them apprised and therefore, again, need your help to ensure they get up to date information.

New Zealand Moves Up Alert Levels:
What You Need To Know
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced that:

Auckland will move to Alert Level 3 from midday Wednesday for three days - until midnight on Friday.

The rest of New Zealand is entering alert level 2 from midday Wednesday for three days, also until midnight on Friday.

Testing centres in Auckland will operate with more staff and longer hours in coming days and DHBs are also planning pop up clinics.

Alert level 3 restrictions for Auckland:

Stay at home in your bubble, other than essential movements such as going to the supermarket or local recreation.
Aucklanders need to work from home unless they are essential workers.
Schools and childcare facilities will close from Wednesday, except for the children of essential service workers.
Bars, restaurants and businesses are to close by midday Wednesday.
Gatherings of more than 10 people are restricted, this includes restrictions for funerals, tangi and weddings.
Travel into Auckland is prohibited unless you normally live there and are travelling home.
Anyone with flu-like symptoms is asked to get tested by contacting their GP or calling Healthline.
All key services, including pharmacies and supermarkets remain open. Food delivery is available under level 3.
Masks should be used where social distancing is difficult, for example on public transport.

Alert level 2 restrictions for the rest of the country:

Work and school can be attended with physical distancing.
Wear masks if you can in public.
No more than 100 people at gatherings, including weddings, birthdays, funerals and tangihanga.
Businesses can open to the public if they are following public health guidance, which includes physical distancing and record keeping.
People at higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19, for example, those with underlying medical conditions and old people, are encouraged to take additional precautions when leaving home.
Practice good hygiene - stay home if sick.

Things change, and if you have had epilepsy for a long time, we're sure you have heard the terms:grand mal, petit mal, partial or complex partial. Back in 2016 the International League Against Epilepsy changed the terms to help make diagnosing and classifying seizures more accurate.....but don't fear, you can still call your own seizures whatever you like.....fuzzes, annoying, events or Niggles!!

You need to be enrolled to vote and have your say in the upcoming election and referendums. We've made it even easier to enrol online at vote.nz. Check out our video to learn more.
