Message from the Board 

Kia ora tatou nga Whanau o Te Uri o Hau.

​

As you will know by now Te Taitokerau is in Alert Level Three lockdown to avoid the Covid19 Delta plague. This shift in Alert Levels comes following the risk presented by the positive case tested in Whangārei earlier this week and confirmed in Tāmaki on Thursday.  That person is now in an Auckland Managed Isolation Quarantine facility.

Updated information shows the case moved throughout Northland after travelling there on Sunday 2nd October and leaving on Wednesday 6th October back to Auckland.  Given this travel throughout the north, possibly whilst infectious, the government agreed to an Alert Level change to keep our whānau and kaumātua safe, identify any spread, and work to contain the virus in the coming days.

It is out of an ‘abundance of caution’ the Government has changed these alert levels despite no further cases so far testing positive in the north.  The Te Uri o Hau Board supports this move to protect our whakapapa and ensure our mana remains intact against this plague.

We support testing at a local Covid19 testing centre close to you if you feel unwell or believe you may have come into contact with a location of interest, do it-get tested- its ok.  We need to limit the spread of this plague and keep it in Tāmaki at all costs.

We also support Covid19 Vaccinations, yes, it is your choice to vaccinate and we believe you need the correct scientific factual information to make that choice and not entertain the untested, unproven claims from those who don’t know us, know who we are or where we come from.  The more Te Uri o Hau whanau who are fully vaccinated, the more protection Te Uri o Hau has against Covid19 and the better we are off beating this plague.

Whanau, for the next few days #STAYHOMESTAYSAFE.  We are ensuring our Te Uri o Hau services are safe and able to support you, our whanau.  We are also working with the other hapū of the Kaipara, the Hauora services, and our own whanau ora service to ensure our health and wellbeing.  Alert Level 3 Restrictions will remain in place until 11:59pm Tuesday 12 October and will be reviewed at Cabinet on Monday 11 October. 

Together we’ll get through this- kia Kotahi Tatou
