COVID-19 Alert Level 3: The Foundation North office will be temporarily closed from Monday 1st March.

COVID response

We will be keeping our communities informed, as best we can in these fast-changing times, on ways we are working through the impacts of Novel Coronavirus/COVID-19.

Stay informed - stay safe

The New Zealand Government posts all information for the public on https://covid19.govt.nz/. Remind yourself of the alert level system and remember there is a press session daily from the Government and the Ministry of Health which updates on the status and alert level for COVID-19 in New Zealand. Official media outlets cover this.
