All New Zealanders will read the news reports about the Government's actions, but that is only part of the picture. Our greatest weapon is to be found in what each one of us does for all of us. Our individual steps will make the difference in our resistance to this pandemic. Day-to-day, practical health steps are powerful weapons of choice to beat this outbreak. Be careful with hygiene, regularly and thoroughly wash and dry your hands, and follow sound medical advice. Listen to our health officials—they are out there in the thousands, dedicated to helping you. It's important we look after each other, especially the elderly and the vulnerable in our community.
