Thousands of New Zealanders needing non-urgent surgery, such as stapedioplasty or tympanoplasty, will have to wait until our country’s Covid-19 lockdown is over.
The Government has asked all people in New Zealand to stay at home during the Alert Level 4 lockdown to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
As long as you’re not unwell, you can leave your house to:
- access essential services, like buying groceries, or going to a bank or pharmacy
- go to work if you work for an essential service
- go for a walk, or exercise and enjoy nature.
If you do leave your house, you must keep a 2-metre distance from other people at all times.
