Covid 19.

[Sandy]

I mis counted somehow, we're actually on day 29 of our level 4 lockdown now, we were due to drop to level 3 as of midnight last night, but the government decided to continue until 27 April, possibly partly because it's ANZAC Day here on 25 April, they possibly felt a lot of us would go out to pay our respects to our fallen troops if we were on level 3, the strange thing is that when we do drop a level the lockdown rules are still the same, it just means more businesses can reopen as long as they can keep the social distancing going in their businesses..

As of 1.00 p.m. yesterday we had 1,446 confirmed cases and around 940 people recovered, sadly we had our 13th death yesterday, there was only 8 new confirmed and possible cases yesterday so touch wood things are looking good for a drop to level 3 at nidnight next monday.. Our borders will remain closed to all but those kiwis trying to get home, they'll have to be tested before leaving where ever they are and go into isolation for 14 days once they're home..

It's sad our old troops won't get to have their remembrance day on saturday, it'll be the first time since the end of WW1 there hasn't been any dawn sercices for our fallen troops, a lot of us are hoping that the RSA who represents them will do some kind of online service for them, IMHO they deserve it..
