I know Covid-19 is pretty much monopolising everyone's attention at the moment, but just a wee reminder about all illnesses and bugs.

With the world reacting to the Covid-19 virus it is a good time to review our procedures for sick tamariki. The Ministry of Health recommendations are that is you or your tamaiti are feeling unwell, have a runny nose, a cough, a temperature or shortness of breath then stay home and ring the Healthline for more information on what is best to do next - 0800 611 116. If your tamaiti does get any of the above symptoms at Nōku te Ao, we will ring you to come get your tamaiti as soon as you can.

A reminder that any vomiting or diarrhea requires 48 hours away from the centre from the last bout as per the Ministry of Health regulations.

Also important - make sure your contact details and tamaiti's immunisation details are up to date.

Ngā mihi.
