Kia ora koutou. This issue was raised with FNDC by Ngati Kahu and Te Hiku Social Accord during a Te Kahu o Taonui (Taitokerau Iwi Chairs Forum) zoom yesterday. We have now received a response from FNDC confirming that:
1. They had arranged COVID sampling at the Kaitaia, Kerikeri and Paihia wastewater treatment plants as soon as the lockdown began - results have been negative to date;
2. They were arranging to add the Russell, Kawakawa and Kaikohe plants to the sampling regime yesterday;
Kia ora Kaitaia,
We are changing the opening hours of today, Monday 23rd August to 7am to 7pm. This is so we can stock the shelves and get the store ready for you. We have been working tirelessly through day and night to keep the supply full and plenty. These extra hours up our sleeve to stock the shelves will mean we’re in a better position to serve our community. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING! And please remember - #shopnormal. Please share this with your whanau and friends.
POP UP VACCINATION TODAY (MONDAY 23RD AUGUST). BETWEEN 11AM - 3PM: OUTSIDE Te Hiku Hauora - NOT inside.
NB: Te Hiku and Mamaru GP clinics are closed until Alert Level 2. Please do not go to the clinic. If you have an existing appt a clinician will be calling you. If you don’t have an appt, but need medical care or advice phone 4080049 or 4060074
In the meantime, it’s important that we all keep on doing do the following:
1. Stay home unless you need to travel for essential reasons (to get food, medicines or medical services) or to exercise. NB: If you have to drive to get to the place you want to exercise - don’t. You’re likely to get turned back either by police or (more firmly) by mana whenua and their kaitiaki. Exercise within walking distance of your bubble.
2. Wear masks if you do leave your bubble for essential reasons.
3. Wash hands regularly.
4. Keep working your whanau response plan.
There are a growing number of COVID cases and close contacts in and around Kaitaia who are being supported and provided with everything they need to isolate until they are either no longer infectious as a positive case OR they get a day 5 negative test result as a close contact.
Iwi authorities, Maori health and social service providers, DHB and Public Health staff - we are all working together and doing all we can to bring everyone exposed to COVID in Te Hiku through the experience still intact physically, mentally and spiritually.
We do have COVID outside Auckland.
1. Stay home unless you need to travel for essential reasons (to get food, medicines or medical services) or to exercise. NB: If you have to drive to get to the place you want to exercise - don’t.

Kia ora tatou katoa,
So the inevitable has happened, COVID-19’s Delta variant has snuck in from New South Wales, wandered around Auckland, Coromandel and who knows where else, undetected for several days – and we’re back in lockdown.
FOR OUR WHANAU WHO EITHER LIVE IN AUCKLAND OR HAVE TRAVELLED THROUGH THERE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS: A very handy google map with times of locations of interest. Your maps will tell you if you have been at these locations recently.
