4 Ashburton Guardian Thursday, July 16, 2020 www.guardianonline.co.nz In brief Children die in fire Several people have escaped a Christchurch house fire but two others died inside. Emergency services received multiple calls about the fire in the single-storey home in Burwood Tuesday night. A fire spokesperson said they found two people dead inside. They said several people were able to escape but he could not confirm how many. Neighbours told RNZ the two people who were found dead were children. Police and fire crews remained at the scene yesterday. The cause of the blaze is yet to be determined. Covid-19 cases There were two new cases of Covid-19 reported in New Zealand’s managed isolation facilities yesterday, Dr Ashley Bloomfield has confirmed. Health Minister Chris Hipkins and the Director-General of Health gave the latest Covid-19 update. The two new cases are a man in his 60s – arriving July 10 from Pakistan via Dubai – and a woman in her 50s, who came from Dublin via Dubai. Both are in managed isolation in Rotorua.

■■INTERNATIONAL SHEARERS Concern over shearing routines

New Zealand’s traditional shearing routines could be thrown into disarray this summer if overseas shearers can’t get into the country. The New Zealand Shearing Contractors Association said, nationally, at least two mil- lion sheep are shorn by international shear- ers. The vice-president, Carolyn Clegg, said farmers may have to re-design their shear- ing plans to avoid animal welfare issues, and it could have business implications too. She said some lambs may not get shorn, or ewes may just get crutched, rather than fully shorn. Clegg said it is not just a matter of training up more New Zealanders. It is not a “10 minute job” to learn how to shear, and it takes a few years to become ex- perienced enough to shear 200 sheep a day, which is what the organisation is basing its shortfall figures on. She said there is also not year- round work once they are trained. “Even if we did have training, we only need people for a fixed term to cover the peak sea- sonal time so, if we trained say 115 New Zea- landers, throughout the year we don’t need them . . . training just for a three-month pe- riod is not economically viable for anybody.” Clegg said, even if shearers are permitted to come into New Zealand, their organisa- tion is uncertain how many would take up the option, given the costs around sitting in quarantine not working, and more costly flights. Clegg also admits the shearing body is mindful that asking for shearers to be al- lowed into New Zealand does pose a poten- Even if international shearers are permitted to come into New Zealand, their organisation is uncertain how many would tial health risk. take up the option, given the costs around sitting in quarantine not working, and more costly flights.

■■NETBALL Out to continue momentum Two sides in Mid Canterbury’s premier netball competition have the opportunity to get a march on their rivals just three weeks into the competition tonight at the EA Networks Centre. Celtic and Hampstead are the two undefeated teams after the opening two rounds of play – fol- lowing contrasting victories last week on the court. Hampstead dished out a dominant display against Methven while Celtic picked up easy points when they were defaulted to by Mt Somers. Tonight, both sides have the opportunity to go three from three, which would put them in strong positions pointing towards the business end of the season, if they’re able to get over the line. Methven and Celtic will lock horns in the opening match of the night on the main court. Celtic opened their season strongly with success over Col- lege, but if there is a concern it’s last week’s missed game. Meth- ven started in a similar fashion with a strong win, but were hum- bled last week by Hampstead which will have had them scram- bling through their processes this week in training. Hampstead will play one half of the role in what should be the Celtic’s Caitlin Adlam will again prove a key factor for her side tonight at the EA Networks Centre.
