Tēnā koutou katoa e te iwi,

COVID-19 is in our Kahungunu rohe. On Sunday 14 Nov two cases had been reported overnight in the Tararua district, covered by MidCentral DHB. Both cases reported feeling unwell on Friday 12 November, sought prompt testing and are now self-isolating at home. The two live in the same household. The Public Health Unit is still investigating any links with other known cases.
• The Ministry of Health is recommending testing for anyone with mild symptoms of COVID-19 in Woodville and a number of locations of interest in the area. Check out the Unite against Covi website for this info. If you feel unwell, get tested. Here are some places to go if you live in the Tararua rohe, however, wherever you live, if you feel unwell - get tested.
o Woodville Medical Centre 11.30am - 3.30pm
o Dannevirke Hospital, Barraud Street 11.30 - 3.30pm

E te whānau, it will spread. It is not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Now is the time to prepare ourselves. Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated is pro vaccine. We are encouraging ALL whānau to vaccinate to protect yourself and have a better chance to live through this pandemic and survive, not like many of our tipuna who died without hope of survival. The flu pandemic of 1918 (sometimes called the Spanish Flu) was New Zealand’s most devastating peacetime event, with 9000 deaths and 40% of the population infected. It followed on directly from the devastation of the First World War, so communities were already traumatised. Just over 100 years later, we have COVID-19 - another pandemic, but this time we have information, vaccinations and support to get us through. Please whānau, consider, reconsider, and do the right things to protect yourself first, if not for you, for your family around you, if not for them, for your mokos still to come.
DON'T BE SCARED, BE PREPARED.
