Pre-Testie Bestie is the second phase of the Don't know? Don't drink campaign. The story follows a young woman supporting her bestie, who suspects she may be pregnant, to be alcohol-free until she can take a pregnancy test.

The campaign aims to reduce the number of babies born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), which is estimated to affect up to 3,000 babies born each year in New Zealand.

In New Zealand, two out of every five babies born each year are a result of an unplanned pregnancy (24,000 births). Approximately half of women drink alcohol in early pregnancy before they know they are pregnant, inadvertently exposing their developing baby to risk.

The campaign aims to reduce alcohol consumption during early pregnancy by encouraging women to stop drinking if there is any chance they could be pregnant.

We provide information, advice, research and resources to help prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm and inspire New Zealanders to make better decisions about drinking alcohol.

Say Yeah, Nah contributes to changing New Zealanders' drinking culture from the current norm of high-risk drinking to one of moderation.

Department of Lost Nights

The Department of Lost Nights advertising is the fifth phase in the Health Promotion Agency's alcohol moderation campaign, known as Say Yeah, Nah. Phases of Say Yeah, Nah messaging have focused on saying no, not pushing alcohol on others, pacing yourself with water, moderating intake to go the distance and not missing out because of too much alcohol.

The original Department of Lost Nights video told the story of a person who drinks too much and loses his memories, therefore, missing out on the night. The latest creative extension shifts the focus to actions that can be taken to prevent missing out.

Do you often compare yourself to those around you, worry over your body image, struggle sleeping or socialising, or feel somewhat dissatisfied with life in general?

All of the above are subconscious symptoms of overt smartphone and social media usage and considering 78% of the UK are now smartphone owners, it is highly likely you have been affected in more than one way.

With the rise of smartphones, social media has taken a stranglehold on modern day life and with both forms of technology now key to staying in touch, taking photos, making notes, waking up on time and even getting a job as the majority of employers claim to screen applicants by browsing their social media profiles.

However, the notorious aspects of smartphones and social media are becoming more apparent. In 2017, Silicon Valley tech insider Tristan Harris became one the first industry figures to openly decry the ulterior motive from platform developers to get you hooked on smartphone apps, describing the process as 'brain hacking.'

Switch Off is a campaign aiming to raise awareness of digital dependency and provide education on the effect smartphones and social media have on our health. In doing so, they believe you will naturally begin to question your mobile habits and feel the benefit of taking some time away from your phone.

Learn about the campaign at switchoffcampaign.wordpress.com and discover more about your relationship with smartphones and social media here.

Keep updated with the campaign across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube or "better yet, Switch Off and tune in to the world around you".

'Let's play every day' promotes the importance of active play for children under five by encouraging parents and whānau to play with their children - every day.

Giving children lots of opportunities to play, both alone and with others, helps with their learning and development. Play is fun, and doesn't need to be formal, structured or to cost money.

The campaign is a partnership between HPA, Sport New Zealand and Healthy Families New Zealand.

Sport New Zealand is supporting and advocating for play in several ways throughout New Zealand. To find out more, visit the play section of their website. You'll also find a link to their Play Principles, and information about physical literacy - which starts with children's play.

Visit Healthy Families New Zealand if you're looking for ideas on how you can create healthy change in your community. You'll also find information and contact details for the 10 Healthy Families NZ locations across the country.

So what are you waiting for? Have some fun and play, every day! It's not strange, it's play time.

Nutrition and physical activity

Good nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and a healthy body size are important for maintaining health and wellbeing both now and in the future.

Unite for the recovery is the Government website about COVID-19. See your own backyard is the tourism page.

Our thoughts are with those affected by the pandemic and we are thankful for the efforts of those working to prevent and contain the spread of the virus.

Latest updates Advice for operators Managing mental health Advice for travellers leaving New Zealand Advice for travellers to New Zealand
Current status

Follow the Government's guidelines for doing business at Alert Level 1.

It is important to note this is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and that this risk assessment may change as more information on COVID-19 and its epidemiology becomes available.

Latest updates
28 January 2021
Ministers and officials are continuing to monitor the situation closely. There is no evidence of community transmission. Current evidence suggests it is appropriate to remain at Alert Level 1 and that we have all the tools we need to again stamp out COVID-19 from our communities.
Update and work underway
The two latest cases were on a different floor from the Northland case. While the cases have tested positive, it is not possible to conclusively say whether the infections are historic or recent. It is not yet known how transmission occurred or which variant of the COVID-19 virus the infections are. An update on both these aspects is expected soon.

To address the issues at the Pullman, staff have been restricted from working at other sites, ventilation has been increased and arrivals and departures have been limited. Plans are being developed to allow the Pullman to be emptied and any other necessary strengthening measures to be put in place.

More resources have been put into testing centres across Auckland including better management of queues and having welfare arrangements in place to keep people comfortable while they wait. It's important the right people isolate and get tested, so we don't overwhelm testing centres. If you were not at a location of interest at the stated times and you have no symptoms you do not need to be tested. If you were at any of the locations of interest at the same time as the current community cases, or you have symptoms you should get tested. A number of walk-in/drive-through community testing centres are open in Auckland - some with extended hours. These can be found here and Healthline will have this information too.

All close contacts of the Northland case have tested negative. Testing of those who have been at locations of interest continues.

Advice for tourism employees

Go with Tourism
Go with Tourism is an initiative developed by Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development,in conjunction with TIA and the Tourism Industry NZ Trust, to build New Zealand's tourism workforce. It has launched a new service to offer free support to tourism industry workers and businesses affected by the spread of COVID-19.

Through one-on-one interactions, an online Knowledge Hub and curated innovation sessions, Go with Tourism aims to assist with redeploying displaced tourism workers and providing guidance to businesses in need of advice.

Assistance is available viagowithtourism.co.nzand a member of staff will be in touch within two working days to offer personalised support.

The platform will also be a one-stop-shop for those wanting to upskill themselves, with free courses available online and options to explore educational pathways.

Advice for operators

The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 places an obligation on employers to ensure the health and safety of workers (so far as is reasonably practicable). Employers should attempt to reach a sensible arrangement with any affected employees regarding a stand-down period from work or denial of entry into New Zealand.
Inland Revenue
You may be able to apply for Income Relief Payment if you:

lost your last job or self-employment from 1 March 2020 to 30 October 2020 (inclusive) because of the impacts of COVID-19, and

normally worked 15 hours or more a week (for 12 weeks or more) before you lost your work because of COVID-19.

You must also be:

a New Zealand citizen or a resident with a residence class visa who was normally working and living in New Zealand when you lost your job, and

18 years old or over, or a financially independent 16- or 17-year-old.

TIA members can email Denise Bayne denise.bayne001@msd.govt.nz for support.
QR Codes
It is a requirement for all businesses and services:

to display the official government QR code for the NZ COVID Tracer App, and

have systems and processes in place to otherwise support contact tracing for people who do not scan in with the NZ COVID Tracer app (such as a pen-and-paper register or a digital sign-in system).

If you have not already generated an official QR code poster for each of your premises, you will need to get your posters here.
Risk assessment advice
How insurance will react to the COVID-19 outbreak will differ for each individual business. If your business has been directly affected by the outbreak please contact your insurance broker for an in-depth review of your policy schedule and wording to qualify if any cover is provided.

TIA's strategic partner Marsh has provided a report to help businesses manage pandemic and epidemic risk: Outbreaks, Epidemics, and Pandemics: Preparedness and Response Strategies.
Tourism Transitions Programme
This programme delivers advice and support for either pivoting a business towards the domestic market, hibernating a firm, or other options.

The programme will complement investment in the Regional Business Partners network.

Businesses interested in finding out more about what support may be available to them, or in registering their interest for support, should visit the Tourism Advisory Support Services page on the Qualmark website.

Inland Revenue

Inland Revenue has advised that if your business is unable to pay its taxes on time due to the impact of COVID-19, they understand, you don't need to contact them right now. Get in touch when you can, and they'll write-off any penalties and interest.

It would help if you continue to file however, as the information is used to make correct payments to people, and to help the Government continue to respond to what is happening in the economy.

Inland Revenue is continuing to provide essential services for business and individual customers, including payments to Working for Families customers and the administration of Child Support.

Because of the extremely difficult circumstances, they are having to prioritise the work they do and adjust the way they do it accordingly. Find out more.

Managing mental health

Public discussion of COVID-19 can be distressing and it's normal to experience symptoms of stress. Help and professional support is available.

If you feel you are not coping, it is important to talk with a health professional. For support with grief, anxiety, distress or mental wellbeing, you can call or text 1737 - free, anytime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week - to talk with a trained counsellor.

The psychologists at TIA members can access this programme through Online resilience support programme Umbrella Wellbeing Ltd spotted our request for support for members and have responded with access to their online resilience support programme. MyTIA.

Advice for travellers to New Zealand

Most foreign travellers can no longer enter New Zealand.

Healthline has set up a dedicated 0800 number specifically for health-related calls about COVID-19.

The number is0800 358 5453

Or for international SIMs+64 9 358 5453

People calling that line will be able to talk with a member of the National Telehealth Service and interpreters will be on hand. The number is staffed by nurses, paramedics and health advisors.

If you have flu-like symptoms please call Healthline immediately.
What should I do about cancellations?
How each business deals with cancellations is their own individual commercial decision to make. There are no easy answers - we have seen a variety of responses across the industry so far, with people balancing their current needs with a longer-term view of securing good relationships for the future when things ease up again. Refer to your terms and conditions and do what you need to do or what you can.

On 15 April the Commerce Commission released some guidance for businesses and consumers on consumers' rights and businesses' obligations for cancelled services and events.
We have a force majeure clause in our agreements, can we use it now?
Yes, however, it depends on the wording. Lane Neave suggests seeking advice before looking to invoke one of these clauses.

The school-based immunisation programme provides free 'Boostrix' and 'HPV' immunisations for children in Year 7 and Year 8 to protect them against several serious diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough and most cancers caused by HPV.

The programme is available through schools or general practices. It is a convenient way for most families to ensure that their children are protected against serious diseases. To support this, a campaign will be live from 16 February 2020 on TV On Demand, YouTube and other online channels.

The campaign encourages parents to sign and return the consent form to allow their child to get immunised at school. Find out more about the campaign below and download the communications pack so you can promote the campaign in your communities.

Protect your child against serious diseases and most cancers caused by HPV

Boostrix Immunisation (or TDap) is typically offered to students in Year 7 and protects against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough. It increases the protection children received through their earlier childhood immunisations by boosting their immunity to these diseases. Boostrix is delivered as a single injection.

Human Papillomavirus Immunisation (or HPV) is typically offered to students in Year 8 and protects against most cancers caused by HPV including cervical cancer and head, neck and throat cancers, which can affect men and women. It takes two doses to be protected against HPV. Those beginning vaccination at age 15 years or older need three doses.

Audience

The campaign communicates with parents and caregivers of children in Year 7 and 8. It aims to increase awareness and protect children against serious diseases like tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough, and highlghts the risk of HPV infection, which is serious and can lead to cancer in later life.

The campaign encourages parents and caregivers to get their child immunised at school as part of the free national school immunisation programme.

We work with the Ministry of Health's immunisation team to provide communications and marketing support for its National Immunisation Programme.

A bevy of famous Kiwis have banded together in a new government-funded advert to encourage New Zealanders to work together to halt the spread of coronavirus.

The ad features prominent New Zealanders from across the worlds of sport and entertainment and also features legendary Victoria Cross recipient Willie Apiata.

The video brings them together to tell Kiwis to stay calm, be kind and the pandemic seriously, using the hashtag #uniteagainstcovid19.

In the video, All Black TJ Perenara, who is joined by fellow AB Ardie Savea, tells viewers: "Things could get tough".

The rugby stars are joined by shot put world champion Dame Valerie Adams, who adds: "We need to set a target and go for it".

Broadcasters Hilary Barry and Kanoa Lloyd also appear, with Barry saying the threat is "like nothing we've ever faced" and Lloyd urging viewers to "be kind".

Singer and TV host Anika Moa reminds Kiwis that "a bit of aroha goes a long way" while How To Dad star Jordan Watson has a humorous dig at the virus, labelling it a "dick".

Hunt for the Wilderpeople star Julian Dennison warns Kiwis "don't be an egg," while singer Benee asks us to "listen to the experts".

The strongest message comes from VC recipient Willie Apiata who intones: "Whanau, we have work to do".

Apiata later says "We must be calm now" before adding: "Together. United. All of us."

The video closes with Waititi telling Kiwis "we got this".
