March 2020 COVID-19

HowCoronavirus is Covid-19 spread?

What is COVID-19? COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a type of coronavirus. There are simple steps you can take to protect you and your family/whānau.

How is it spread? COVID-19, like the flu, can be spread from person to person. When a person who has COVID-19 coughs, sneezes or talks, they may spread droplets containing the virus a short distance, which quickly settle on surrounding surfaces. You may get infected by the virus if you touch those surfaces or objects and then touch your mouth, nose or eyes. That’s why it’s really important to use good hygiene, regularly wash and thoroughly dry your hands, and use good cough etiquette.

What can I do to stop COVID-19 spreading? •Cough or sneeze into your elbow or by covering your mouth and nose with tissues. •Put used tissues in the bin or a bag immediately. •Wash your hands with soap and water often (for at least 20 seconds). •Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell. •Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean. •Avoid personal contact, such as kissing, sharing cups or food with sick people. •Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs. •Stay home if you feel unwell and call Healthline on 0800 358 5453.

Mealamu talked at Gisborne Boys’ High School’s assembly yesterday and chatted with some of the school’s rugby players, answered their questions and shared his experiences. His visit was part of Rugby Awareness Week in Poverty Bay, which concluded with a front-row clinic led by the former All Black hooker yesterday evening. Mealamu was raised in Tokoroa and attended Auckland’s Aorere College. He said he enjoyed his schooling but the time went quickly and students could set themselves up for success from a platform of hard work. He played 132 tests for the All Blacks over 13 years. Mealamu was last in Gisborne in May last year, when he helped launch Poverty Bay’s season of junior rugby. During that visit — his first to the city — he presented The Rugby Way, a SHARING HIS EXPERIENCE: Former All Black hooker Keven Mealamu (centre) was happy to pass on tips yesterday to Gisborne seminar about the sport’s values as it Boys’ High School rugby players, including (from left) Khian Westrupp, Kirk Ngatai, Amos Roddick and Tuteari Te Rauna-Lamont. seeks to embrace respect and inclusion, as Mealamu was brought to Gisborne for the Poverty Bay Rugby Football Union’s Rugby Awareness Week programme. well as excellence, fairness and passion.
