NEW ZEALAND IS NOW IN COVID-19 ALERT LEVEL 2

New Zealand moved to Alert Level 2 at 11:59 PM on Wednesday, 13 May. 

​

At Alert Level 2, though we have more freedom but we need to play it safe as the coronavirus is still out there. Remember to keep your distance from other people in the public. If you're sick, stay home. If you have symptoms of cold or flu, call your doctor or Healthline and get advice about being tested. Wash your hands. Sneeze and cough into your elbow and regularly disinfect surfaces. If you were told to self-isolate, do so immediately. Keep track of where you've been and who you've seen.
