AUCKLAND — New Zealand’s three new community Covid cases have been identified as the dangerous UK variant of the virus and they have not been linked to any managed isolation or quarantine case, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said today. But she said it was too soon to say whether Auckland would come out of Alert Level 3 lockdown — or New Zealand out of Alert Level 2 — as early as Wednesday night. She said the move was “the right thing to do” and was a “cautious approach”. “I’m asking New Zealanders to continue Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to be strong and to be kind.” She said we all have this feeling of “not again . . . but we are going to be OK”. the past week — from Auckland to New Auckland moved to Alert Level 3 for Plymouth — although Hipkins said the at least three days at 11.59 last night, family had not been using the Covid with employees asked to work from home, Tracer app regularly.

WELLINGTON — Mental health services for young people from the rainbow community will receive a boost of $4 million over four years. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said this was the first ever nationwide funding for rainbow youth and would be an important step towards improving their wellbeing. Young gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people were at greater risk of being discriminated against, harassed and bullied, Ardern said. As a result, they often had poorer physical and mental health, and were more likely to struggle with addiction, she said. “Participants in the Counting Ourselves survey who are trans or non-binary were twice as likely to have attempted suicide in the past year than participants who did not report that discrimination. “This is a long overdue commitment to some our most vulnerable youth,” Ardern said. The funding will provide $3.2 million to expand mental wellbeing services and $800,000 for the Rainbow Wellbeing Legacy Fund, which was established as an acknowledgement of people convicted of homosexual acts before the law was changed in 1986. — RNZ
