Im due to have a couple more surgical procedures soon.

I really need some more kn95 or at a stretch n95 masks. Does anybody know where to buy? All our locals have sold out and the chemistwarehouse will not ship them and they appear out as well.

I was told you can re use them if you do not wear them all day, but not sure what the protocol should be there.

Anyway, not wanting to spend time in public hospital after my last experience with people not wearing masks correctly and people wandering around wards willy nilly.

If anybody can PM me a heads up on where to buy some quality masks that would be appreciated.

I hear through the grapevine that Office Products Depot are expecting a new shipment in the next couple of days. Hopefully you have one near you. Registering for their online/direct store is not trivial.

Can I ask with the Government dropping the 'Work from home' mandate have any GZ people been WFH and told to come back into the office?

This opposite - doing work for a ministry, have been told to do as much as possible from home.

Mixed.

My direct employment has continued effective level 3 setting. Wfh if possible. With recommend masks when in shared areas.
Some Customers have switched out to level 4 equiv thanks to the way omicron works and locked right down to keep their ops going.

Or switched to even closing cafeteria to avoid the whole.. you're too close and inside so you're a close contact rather than casual.

Not aware of any of ours easing and asking people back. Quite the opposite thanks to the way they're interpreting the 10day iso clauses.

We initially got the 'working from home encouraged' advice, which was in line with the government's previous guidance. Subsequently the government advice changed to 'working from home may be appropriate for some roles', at which point my workplace changed their guidance to effectively be individuals' discretion.

I personally prefer to work in the office so I have decided to keep going in until I consider it unsafe to use public transport. I will work from home thereafter.

It’s New Zealand day at Expo today. We went to Sole Mio and now waiting for Six60 in a couple of hours. I’m generally over worrying about when we can visit New Zealand but today I’m home sick AF.

A number of my son's friends went to Soundsplash and have been advised to monitor their health while getting tests and isolating etc.

Most of them have returned to school today. Very few of them have had a test.

Sorry to hear you are homesick. It's a crummy feeling.
