The Budapest has 200 occupants and

Special Isolation facilities are
available for essential workers from health and police.
A drive-through vaccination station
for children 5-11 years commenced today, Saturday 25 June, at the
Aiue Boulevard, from 12-7pm.
Parents and guardians are reminded
that children who have not had COVID can be vaccinated immediately.
There is no harm and there may be benefit to your child if they
receive the vaccine and then get COVID soon after.
If your child has already been
infected with COVID during this outbreak, you can wait until late
September for the 1st dose and 2nd dose 3-4 weeks later, before the
end of October.
All children should receive their
2nd dose 3-4 weeks after the 1st dose.
If you are positive, please isolate
for 13 days and until you have had three days without symptoms
before ending your isolation.
You can self-isolate at home but if
you are not able to or don't feel safe to isolate at home, you can
request to isolate in Quarantine Accommodation where there are
health staff and other support available.
Sanitise, wear a mask, keep your
distance, stay home unless for essentials.
More RAT kits will arrive and the
government is thankful to everyone who has done a test and reported
the results. This helps the Taskforce track where we are at in this
outbreak.
Last night, Friday 24 June, police
went around closing some shops because there were more than three
people inside the store. This was not a curfew measure. The public
is advised that only three people are allowed inside a shop at any
one time to minimise gatherings and the spread of COVID.
Shop owners must remind customers
of this otherwise police will close the business operations
Call 192 to register your results,
both positive and negative results. The lines may be busy due to
the overwhelming number of calls, however, keep calling and your
call will be answered.
