Form to fill out on line is here
Takes less than 5 minutes. This is what comes back
That's an odd link. Doesn't end in the MoH .co.nz? I followed and completed the form, got an email reply from a legit looking MOH source, looks good

No level 4. Phew. It would be futile anyway, because the spreaders gonna spread regardless of the alert level

Oh dear. Welcome to the shit we've been dealing with for 18 months. A loud faction of the society absolutely adamant that we must be locked down forever with the government paying everybody full salaries until it's resolved.
They get listened to less and less every day.
God it's rough to simply lock down the largest city and give almost the rest of the country freedoms.

The so called public health experts seem to love being heavy handed without concern for all of us. People I talk to are becoming less and less enamoured with the strategy

@canefan well the expert 'group' the govt have been consulting with since last year now.say they weren't consulted for the latest raft of changes the govt is proposing for relaxing rules.
These people do seem way out of touch with reality though, not unlike the politicians they consult to, despite claiming they know how tough it is out there, I expect sleep safe in thier homes with little or no.fear they will lose thier job through continual lockdowns (even in Cindy's case she knows she has 2 years at least...)

From an outside looking in perspective, it seems to me that the strategy must have officially run it's course now.
As much as Ive been banging the drum about getting into NZ & Cindy's atrocious handling/communication of that, I appreciate that her first task must be to integrate Auckland back into NZ. I have no idea how she is planning that. It's a bit one country two systems to have Auckland trying to contain Covid, whilst the rest of the country maintains zero Covid. If you open up Auckland, you are saying to the rest of the country, we are giving you Covid.
It's a tough situation for Cindy. One she has brought about entirely herself and I have zero sympathy for.

Yes. Experts disagreeing with scientiststs disagreeing with Government & most importantly, disagreeing with Karen on Twitter.

@majorrage oh, and this group also felt that elimination was (and is) still possible....

Jacinda has been trying to please everyone, but that strategy is starting to make her look weak as lots of people are wondering why we are being held to ransom by an uncooperative minority

They were touting for a return to L4....

@taniwharugby said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@canefan Northland has been kept at L3 (currently stricter than Aucklands L3 with picnics) due to 2 selfish women.
It will continue to happen. Vaccination is our only way out of this.

Oh, I forgot to add, local government disagreeing with government. I.e - Sadiq Khan cancelling London NY fireworks despite their being zero restrictions in England.

A South Auckland woman who tested positive for Covid-19 has absconded from her home and cannot be found.
Police have now been called in to find the MÄngere woman and have been directed to take her straight to the Jetpark Hotel quarantine facility when they do.
The Herald has chosen not to name the woman, in her 40s.
She is well known to police, is gang-connected and has been the subject of a number of public appeals this year to locate her for alleged criminal offending.

@tim and another woman got through the Northern borders by hiding in the boot of a car, but was dobbed in by someone in or known to her family in Kaitaia.
That is both good and bad...bad that someone has to breach court imposed restrictions to see whanau, good that some people are still honest and don't like lawbreakers.
