Kia ora koutou,

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Friday 5! Where we will celebrate all the wonderful on-going work at the NRHCC.

1. Today is the last shift at the Airport for our remaining Border Healthcare workers. A huge shoutout to the team who have played a central role in preventing Covid-19 from entering the community across the border. Thank you for all your hard mahi and keeping Aotearoa safe!

2. Shout out to Te Whānau o Waipareira who featured in the Western Leader and recounted working in the Covid-19 response over the last 2 years. Te Whānau o Waipareira developed the Wai Helpline, which a is by-Māori, for Māori initiative. The service supported engaging with families directly and while they maybe providing Covid care the team can also assess what other services whānau might need.

3. Tuesday 17th May, Dr Gary Jackson, Dr Christine McIntosh and Dr Anthony Jordan sat down for a live stream with Stuff to answer readers’ questions on Covid-19, flu and RSV.
