Someone from here, who had an exemption to travel down to Napier, has now allowed it to get into Napier, and I understand that there is a positive case there now.
What are people given exemptions for anyway?? And so, covid19 spreads further down the country.
I too have an underlying health conditions which affects my lungs, and I was careful prior to covid coming here, but now I'm more wary about where I go, and I may even wear two masks now, as I saw someone doing recently.
The exemptions are VERY easy to get - it's an automated online process; if you fit the criteria, you print out the exemption and you're good to go. I know because my dad's an essential worker and I applied for him. But from what I can tell, anyone could apply for one and get it. But it does require a RealMe account so it can be traced to the person applying.
I'm Hamilton based, but I'm travelling to Te Awamutu tomorrow for work; very aware of how careful I need to be!
