NEWS ON OMICRON/ NEW VARIANT

Kevin Cronin —

I met with health officials yesterday and they shared that case numbers of the virus are up 30% in Auckland, THIS WEEK !

Knowing this we need to be vigilant, and not complacent with the following health and safety protocols which we know help prevent the spread of germs (coronavirus or flu)

  • Wear a mask when indoors

  • Wash and sanitise hands

  • Cough or sneeze into your elbow

  • Ventillate rooms 

  • Physically Distance

  • Work and play outside regularly

The biggest thing we can all help with is to look out for symptoms in your children, and if any are showing, keep your child at home please. We know this is a pain, but we need to think of the greater picture. If we send children to school with the virus, classes will possibly need to isolate for a week, maybe even year levels will need to isolate, and worst of all, the school may need to isolate for a period. We want to avoid this, so please be proactive if children are unwell.
