IT’S BUSINESS TIME: No ribbon cutting but plenty of good humour yesterday as security guard Pat Kaliopasi peeled back the emergency tape to re-open Gisborne’s KFC at 1pm. Cars were backed up into Gladstone Road and past ShipWreck bar for most of the afternoon as people waited for their fix after more than five weeks of lockdown. A police spokesman said the outlet had a “really good traffic management plan in place” for the reopening. Police also said they would be checking inside the kitchens of fast-food outlets operating under Alert Level 3 to ensure they stick to the criteria, which include social distancing of one metre. Yesterday a story on Stuff featured the comments of a Burger King worker in Gisborne, who said she was scared to go to work. “Distancing is non-existent in fast-food kitchens,” she said. “I drew a map the other day because I know that kitchen like the back of my hand, and there’s just no way,” she said.

Keeping your bubble small and making space around you are two important ways to keep yourself and the people in your household protected. They help keep other people safe too. Because the more contact you have with others, the more opportunity the virus has to spread.

Make the space An important way to keep yourself and others safe is to ‘make the space’ by keeping a 2-metre distance from people who aren’t in your bubble, at all times.

Do I need to make space around me when What do I do if I have symptoms? picking-up takeaways? Don’t leave the house if you’re sick or have symptoms. Contact Making space around you applies wherever you are, and particularly your local GP or Healthline on 0800 358 5453 and they will advise in places where people tend to gather, like the queue for picking up you and arrange a safe way for you to be tested for COVID-19. takeaways.

This applies to businesses You can do more activities at Alert Level 3, but only if you’re of any sort – such as clothing and electronics retailers – not just experienced and can do them safely. These activities include: takeaways. The main exceptions to this are supermarkets, petrol stations and dairies (dairies must follow the ‘one-in, one-out’ rule). Fishing – if you want to go ishing you can do so from a wharf or the shore, but don’t cast of the rocks. Boating is not allowed, How do I pay? including ishing from a boat. The best way to pay is to do so online or over the phone, and then have Hunting – you can hunt on private land, but not on public items delivered to your front door. If you have to pick-up goods, keep a conservation land. You need to stay within your region and stick 2-metre distance and do so in a contactless way. If you have to pay for to your bubble.

Keep your bubble small Keeping it small means restricting your bubble to your immediate household, and maybe extending it a small amount if you need to – perhaps by one or two people maximum. This could mean reconnecting with close family, bringing in a caregiver, or supporting isolated an isolated person.

SPORT Murray appointed independent Taylor recognised for another Saturday, May 2, 2020 regatta director PAGE 26 outstanding season PAGE 27 A holding pattern Players, administrators waiting for news

FOOTBALL by John Gillies CENTRAL Football is in a “holding pattern” about giving advice on what players can do in Covid-19 Alert Level 2. The game’s administrators are hoping that Level 2 will allow non-contact training and Level 1 will allow matches to be played. But they don’t know all the details of what will be allowed at those levels, or how long the country will stay at each stage. New Zealand Football and its federations are working together on training guidelines, Central Football chief executive Darren Mason says. The game in New Zealand is administered at regional level by seven federations – Northern, Auckland, Waikato/Bay of Plenty, Central, Capital, Mainland and South. Planning at Central Football — the federation that includes Gisborne and Wairoa — has May 30 as the proposed starting date of the rejigged season. Mason says whether that target can be met depends on factors that aren’t clear yet. “We need to hear what the Government says is allowed under Level 2,” he said yesterday. “It might be next week that we get those details. “If training of some sort can be done — it might be passing drills — we would be more than keen to get that under way. “The other thing is: ‘How long are we going to be at Level 2?’ “If it is only a fortnight, that gives us a start date reasonably close to the end of May. If it’s longer, that changes things. “Team training is not allowed under Level 3. Once we know a DERBY DAY: Gisborne Thistle striker Liam McMenamy (centre) is challenged by Gisborne United players Kieran Venema (facing camera) bit more about Level 2, things and Jarom Brouwer, as goalkeeper Jack Faulkner waits for the outcome in a Pacific Premiership match at Childers Road Reserve last will become a bit clearer.

Administrators are hoping competition will be able to start on May 30, but the timing depends on what the until we know more.
