NZ COVID Tracer

The government has released their NZ COVID-19 tracer mobile app, which the Prime Minister has mentioned will be a ‘digital diary’, to track peoples movement if there is a COVID-19 outbreak. There are some initial concerns of personal accounts of people and monitoring of their whereabouts, but the Ministry of Health has advised that the information will only be stored for 31 days before being automatically deleted. You can download the app on your mobile at the Google or Apple stores or from here http://tracing.covid19.govt.nz.

Tikanga tested in Level 2

Tikanga has been tested for Māori around the country over the past 7 weeks of this COVID-19 world, nothing causing as much grief as practicing tangihanga. And although whānau Māori around the country understand the health ramifications and are supportive of eradicating COVID from our communities, it still hasn’t lessened the anguish and anxiety.
