Mandates have changed but our service is still available for whānau.

Whānau members testing positive with COVID-19 are still required to isolate for seven days however, other household contacts can continue with normal activities as long as they test negative to Covid. Rapid Antigen Tests are a quick way of testing for COVID-19.

If you have tested positive we can provide you and your whānau with essential items and tests for this period.
