Te Whatu Ora Southern says it is important to prepare and be ready in case you have to isolate at home. 

“Unless you are very sick, you will need to self-manage your isolation as much as possible,” public health physician Dr Virginia McLaughlin said. 

“This could mean ordering groceries or food online, asking friends and whānau to drop off any medication you may need on the doorstep, and generally looking after yourself like you would if you had the flu or a cold - all while staying at home and isolating until your household has recovered from Covid-19.” 

For more information about preparing and staying safe please visit the Unite against Covid-19 website or call Healthline on 0800 358 5453.

If you are self isolating and require welfare support such as help getting groceries or medication, please call 0800 512 337. This service is for everyone in need.
