How to have a COVID-free summer
New Zealanders have been fortunate to enjoy a Covid-free summer so far. However, we all need to play our part to make sure it stays that way.
Water, water everywhere – but will it make you sick?
With the weather warming up and people hitting beaches, rivers, estuaries and lakes for some much-needed rest and recreation, there is a potential hazard lurking in the water.
Tips for your medicines and the holiday season
The festive season is a fun time to catch up with whānau and friends but the silliness of the season can mean that routines get out of kilter. This can have implications for taking your medicines safely. Here are a few tips for your medicines and the holiday season.
Laryngitis
Laryngitis is when your voice box (larynx) or vocal cords in your throat become swollen and irritated. It usually goes away by itself within a week or so.
Sexual harassment
Sexual harassment is unwelcome or offensive sexual behaviour. Behaviour doesn’t have to be repeated to be harassment. Serious one-off behaviour can be harassment as well.

Dehydration is the loss of water and salts from your body. Most people experience mild dehydration at some time, but if it becomes severe it can lead to death.
