Key messages
- If you are unwell, stay at home and do not travel.
- If you become unwell whilst on holiday, call Healthline, your GP, or Nurse Practitioner who can advise whether you should be tested. If you are advised to get a test, please do so; do not wait until you get home to get tested.
- Testing is available in Northland this long weekend. Go to the DHB website for more information – www.northlanddhb.org.nz
- Continue to sign into places using the NZ COVID Tracer app or keep a record of where you’ve been. This is especially important when on holiday because you may not remember all the locations you have visited.
