Rotary and its members are confronted with a rapidly changing environment with the outbreak of Covid-19 virus. Please follow the official advice of your local health authority, government recommendations and the World Health Organisation when making decisions as whether or not to proceed with meetings, projects and events.

In New Zealand this includes the New Zealand Ministry of Health (MOH) Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) guidance - Ministry of Health website https://www.health.govt.nz/…/dis…/covid-19-novel-coronavirus .    Covid-19 specific healthline 0800 358 5453 / Tele-health line (anytime) is Text 1737

Note the following:

We are leaders in our communities and this time of crisis calls for leadership, so it is everyone's responsibility to come together to help each other and those in our communities who need Rotary's help. To take an excerpt from the RI President's letter; "We can put a greater emphasis on the work we do in our communities by helping our less fortunate neighbours cope with the effects of isolation and fear, or by supporting our health authorities to address this situation."

Please keep an eye on the Rotary Oceania Facebook page www.facebook.com/rotaryoceania as this will also have a large amount of useful information that can easily be shared with others.
