As we start to see case numbers rise across the Coast, now is a really good time to double-check that your household is ready to self-isolate if you get COVID-19, or are a Household Contact or if COVID-19 becomes widespread in our community.

A good place to start is the Unite against COVID-19 website which outlines some simple practical things you can do to ensure you are ready - https://bit.ly/37bDAbj

Remember, having an isolation plan in place means that you, your whānau and community can help each other if needed.

*Please note, the Ministry of Health’s daily reported cases today on the West Coast may differ from those reported at a DHB or local public health unit level. This is because of different reporting cut off times and the assignment of cases between regions, for example when a case is tested outside their usual region of residence.
