Our marae are now operating whārua – mārua kaupapa to support the whole hāpori, inlaws, outlaws, neighbours, businesses, non Tūhoe – te katoa, everyone living within nā whārua. Comms / Testing / Health Checks Starting to feel those symptoms, then testing can be accessed directly in the whārua. Health Care Assistants will be rostered to set times as regularly as possible. Tribal’s will notify of times. This way we can concentrate the necessary safety and PPE controls at that place.

Haumaru Base Our runners, our carers, our shoppers, our picker uppers, our informers, our educators. Haumaru whānau, helping set up isolation spaces for you, pick up shopping while you can’t, keeping a watchful eye out, where your whānau cannot.

Pātaka Kai Our Pataka kai will be able to offer cooked kai for whānau who become unwell through COVID and the wider whānau is too far away to do that. Or if some whānau suffer from loss of income as a result of having to isolate. No need for you to organise, our aim is that your connector and haumaru teams will get straight on to that. And for all of our whānau that may be a bit worried about heading into the towns, our marae or local supermarket (Te Tii or Waimana) will stock the essentials, we’ll organise our own click and collect so you can buy directly from the marae and pickup. We won’t have all the luxury items but that flour and tea bag we will. This will help whānau do their bit if COVID spread starts getting a bit carried away and restricting movement may be needed from time to time.

Isolation Our isolation marae have studied all the rules! Spaces and kawa for isolation is all underway. From mid December we’ll be ready. So for whānau who do not want to risk infection spread in the home, or don’t want to upset testing time frames and restart the isolation 14 day clock – marae are available for you. Whether that’s for 1 night or 14. If you’re able, bring your blankets, towel and a bit of kai – enari there’ll be enough to go around.

Pākeke Respite Ok, don’t tell them, they hate it when we fuss, but we are kind of worried about our pākeke with COVID. So if they are needing some time out, it could be that the household might be having manuhiri and you wouldn’t want any worries there, pākeke can move to safe space, to kapu tī with the wider whānau. Or if a whānau member becomes a close contact or positive case and the whānau would prefer for their pākeke to isolate away for their safety, then our marae will worry about them for you. Strict safety protocols will apply here.

Welfare Supports Are for COVID positive whānau and their Close Contacts • Welfare Supports is the team of Tribal Connectors that will want to make sure that you are okay to get through your journey with COVID and also to support you through your loss of freedom while you are being asked to isolate. • These will be developed directly with whānau when you are notified as being COVID positive. • For whānau enrolled with a Tūhoe Medical Centre, the notification, health and supports needs will be worked through and delivered on as one. • The Medical Officer or the Public Health Unit is delegating the role of notifying you, that you are COVID positive to the Iwi. This means that the Iwi can include the Medical Centre and the Tribal Supports all in one kōrero. • That notification and ‘assessment’ of needs kōrero is private and confidential. We are all obligated to manage the chain of privacy strictly and will need your permission to respond as you direct.

Immunity What ever is your answer to good health get on to it now! Choose a number of therapies, ronoa, good immunity or medicine you think you will need. Maintain a healthy immune system with good nutrition, fresh air, and simple supplements like Vitamin C D, and Zinc. Take these now and right up at the beginning of your COVID huarahi. Many of us who will get COVID may have only mild or moderate symptoms and will recover at home within 1-2 weeks. A smaller number of whānau may get a severe dose of COVID, needing hospital care. Be COVID smart with your tīnana.

Risk of serious illness or death

Hyper-Inflammation/ Clotting Phase Severe illness - needing hospital care

Inflammation Phase

Cough, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath

Monitor closely

Fever, sore throat, fatigue, muscle aches, loss of taste/ smell, nausea, diarrhea, chills, loss of appetite

Viral Phase

Can easily infect others

Day 1

Day 5

Blood clotting, chest heaviness/pain, breathing difficulty

KO KOE So, you get the news… COVID has visited you! Here’s what will happen: We will call you to confirm the news. By that same contact, we will immediately go through everything you need to know and together come up with a plan for: • Your Health and Medical Needs. We have access to GP’s nurses and your medical centre near you. Depending on the day you get the news you might already even be over the hard part… • Your whānau, tamariki, mum, dad, nan or koro that you look after. • Whether Isolation can be done safely at home or whether other spaces may be a better option.

Here’s what to expect on your COVID huarahi… Vaccinated: 10 days isolation (and symptom free for 72 hours before release) Unvaccinated: 14 days isolation (this includes whānau receiving their first jab within 7 days of becoming COVID positive and symptom free for 72 hours before release)

• Whether your income might be affected by the isolation period and taking care of that.

FIRST REMEMBER…

• The daily checks that will now start all the way until you are ‘released’.

Call your GP if at anytime you are:

• And your journey through the COVID huarahi.

• Short of breath • Feeling light headed (could be a sign of decreased oxygen) • Experiencing chest heaviness or pain • Seeing that you have blueish lips • Persistent fever ie greater than 7 days • Worried about your symptoms • You are unsure whether to call

Kia Mataara.

DAY 0:

Starts when your Test is Confirmed Positive or the First Day of Symptoms whichever is earliest. • You might already be feeling unwell, noticed some symptoms and got yourself tested. Congratulations for doing that quickly! • When we call to confirm the test, we then have a kōrero about anything you need to know. While we may not have all the answers, we will do our best. • We will also talk to you about any medical needs or worries, and talk through any other arrangements you may need some support with. Anything goes. Helping you is helping tātau katoa… • We also talk about what Isolation needs you and your whānau will have, this is important, because it helps shut down further infection in the home and COVID spread through the whārua.

DAY 2: • Ok, so you’ve ignored our advice and you’re not resting… • You’ve missed something from our Day 1 assessment? No worries, your Tribal Connector is your guy-girl! Just text or call them. Set some regular check in points. Whatever you need. • Need to get some kai sorted – your Tribal Connector can help there, whether you need kai picked up from Click and Collect or whether you need cooked kai from your Pātaka Kai delivery – no worries. • Health Checks – even if you don’t need to call us – we want to stay alert to any symptoms. • It’s also time to keep a record: For full version see page 28

• We need to test all the whānau at home, whether they will stay there or not. • Your details are kept private. This is your private medical information. • It’s now time to ready the whare if it isn’t already. Put up the poster that is in your peke. Text whānau to say your kaina is isolating. • And now… chill out. There is nothing left to do – but to ride it through!

DAY 1: • If we did not get to it yesterday, you will be asked where you have been during the time you were infectious. Delta is sneaky and sometimes you are infectious when you don’t even feel unwell. We ask where you have been so we can let anyone who was around know that they need to get tested. This may be whānau who you have visited, or random people in the supermarket. No matter what, we cannot tell them who the positive case was, so your privacy is protected. (But you may want to let any whānau know, or ask your Tribal Connector to – again, we can’t tell them it was you because of privacy).

| 11 |

DAY 3 - DAY 4

DAY 10

• Let’s get on top of those symptoms! The tickle in the throat, a cough, fever or headache may now be getting stronger. You may start to feel a bit short of breath, watch out for that. Diarrhoea, feeling tired, loss of taste, loss of smell they are all the things to look forward too.

• YAY! Vaccinated COVID positive whānau with no COVID symptoms are now on the home stretch and can be released after 72 hours of continued no COVID symptoms.

• More Health Checks – Kanohi ki te Kanohi if we have to, phone or video – whichever way works.

• For whānau isolating in the same home as a COVID positive whānau – the clock restarts and the journey for your close contacts – Day 0 begins for them.

• Cold weetbix for the throat… soup through the day… some herbal tea! Take Care of yourself.

DAY 11 - 13

• No stressing…

• No COVID symptoms – you are done – you’ve made it through.

DAY 5

• Don’t overdo it… the tinana still has some bouncing back to do – no marathons just yet.

• Possibly another hard day, more fever or chills, irritable, unable to get comfortable – shower or bath if you can might help. • It’s time to test your whānau and your Close Contacts. Chances are COVID has visited them too. We can talk about how we do that, whether we bring someone to you guy’s or whether you can come to the marae or medical centre testing sites. • Daily Health check in’s.

DAY 6 - DAY 9 • Hopefully you’re winning and feeling better every day. • Appetite returning and by now soup just won’t cut it! Your Tribal Connectors will help with any pick up or deliveries if your whānau aren’t available. • Starting to get hohā with isolation – stick it out. Delta is clever, it turns itself on when it feels like it. One negative doesn’t mean anything – lots of people are testing positive after that 5-day test! • Supplies, ok? Feeling, ok? Getting hohā – bored – easily irritated? Get your Tribal Connector on the job. Call them, they’re just around the corner! • Day 8: Time to swab test your close contact whānau again.

Kia Mataara.

DAY 14 • For non vaccinated whānau – you are done – you’ve made it through. Let’s keep an eye out over the next 72 hours, if you remain COVID symptom free – then at that point you are ‘released’!

Isolating… there’s a bit to it! If asked to we have got to ISOLATE! Isolating will help save lives.

Isolating helps stop COVID spreading through the kaina, it stops COVID being passed on to other whānau in the home. And it helps to stop the spread of COVID in the whārua. All COVID Positive whānau and Close Contacts are required to Isolate. Casual contacts do not need to isolate, but will need to self-monitor for any symptoms for 10 days and get a test if you experience symptoms. If it helps: • Close Contact – whānau you may live or work with or have been in the same place at the same time as someone infectious with COVID. • Casual Contact – whānau who have been in the same place at the same time as someone infectious with COVID, but may not have been near the person. • Secondary Contact – household whānau members of a close contact. But…You have some decisions to make. You’ve just been told that you are COVID Positive and so if you are: • Unvaccinated: you must isolate for 14 days (and then be symptom free for 72 hours before released). • Vaccinated: you must isolate for 10 days (and symptom free for 72 hours before release). If you choose to isolate at home you are agreeing to: • Likely infect the rest of your whānau. • Extending the isolation period for everyone in your household – that is because the 10 or 14 -day isolation period restarts after the last COVID positive case is released. This can mean that whānau are in isolation for quite some time and after the COVID positive whānau member/s is free to leave the home.

• This may affect your livelihood, whether you have enough leave entitlement, kura for the tamariki or other stressors in the home. If you choose to isolate at another location ie the Marae that have made themselves available then you could possibly shorten the isolation period for your whānau, but in order to do that, that will mean separating yourself from the whānau. It could mean a mix, so that other whānau as close contacts isolate at another location ie the Marae and one whānau member stays with the COVID positive case. It will mean that that whānau member risks infection and will have to isolate for 10 or 14 days after their COVID positive whānau member is released. But the rest of whānau end their isolation after their 10 or 14 days at the other location. This will let them come back into the home at roughly the same times. Oh… as long as they consistently test negative for COVID at their Day 5 and Day 8 tests. It’s important to note that you cannot enter into a kaina where a whānau is already isolating. That will have the effect of restarting everyone’s isolation clock back to Day 0, yours and that whānau. That means a fresh new round of nasal swabbing!! Once a COVID positive whānau has completed their isolation journey, survived the fever and other symptoms and been symptom free with a normal temperature for 72 hours, that whānau member is released.

What kind of whare counts as an isolation whare? The rules on this are pretty light. The main thing is that you can separate the virus that you happen to be carrying from others. So as long as you have: • Running water • Toilet or sanitary spaces • Sheltered from peak heat or cold Signal access if you can – for health checks not netflix.. It counts! That 5-star campsite with the long drop and shower and soap – that’s in. Shed and maybe portaloo? That counts too. Remember kai supports are there – whānau first, but if that gets hard – your Tribal connectors can help, cook, shop or deliver. Isolate – safely. BUT – for whānau with medical needs, make sure you have everything you need and that you can be comfortable throughout your COVID huarahi.

The how to isolate at home • Stay home • You can go outside, but you need to stay on the property. • Ask friends or whānau to drop off anything you need, or order supplies online. Make sure any deliveries are left outside your home for you to collect. • You must not have any visitors in your home, except those providing essential care. • You can continue to live with others in your household during this time, but you need to avoid Close Contact with them by limiting any situation where you have face-to-face contact closer than 2 metres. • You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups or eating utensils with others in your household. • You should wash your own dishes thoroughly with detergent and water or place them in a dishwasher for cleaning. • Do not share food and drinks or prepare food for others. • You must not share personal items such as beds, linen, towels and washcloths. • Use your own toothbrush and have a separate supply of products such as soap, toothpaste and toilet paper.

The Hygiene Stuff

• If you share a kitchen with others, avoid using it while others are present.

Clean hands

• Take your meals back to your room to eat.

• Wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, making sure you dry them thoroughly. Don’t share stuff! Do not share your towel! Use hand sanitiser (containing at least 60 percent alcohol) if soap and water are not available. Remember to cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

• It may be easier for someone else in your household to prepare your food so you can avoid the kitchen area.

Don’t Spread • Cough or sneeze into your elbow – Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, your sleeve or elbow when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues in a rubbish bin and immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, making sure you dry them thoroughly, or use hand sanitiser.

Laundry • Do not shake dirty laundry as this can disperse the virus through the air. It’s ok to wash your dirty laundry with the rest of your household if you do the washing yourself, but you should only fold and put away your own items. It may be easier for someone else to fold and put away clean shared laundry items (such as towels and tea towels) and provide a supply for you. If you do not have a washing machine, wait until 72 hours after you have been released from isolation before taking your laundry to a laundrette. You may need friends or family members to drop off basic clothing items to you.

• If you have one, use a dishwasher to clean and dry your used crockery and cutlery. If this is not possible, wash them using your usual washing up liquid and warm water and dry them thoroughly, remembering to use a separate tea towel. • If you use a shared toilet and bathroom, it’s important that you clean them every time you use them (for example, wiping surfaces you have come into contact with). You may wish to be the last to use the shower/bath in the morning or evening to make this easier on those you live with.

Living with children: • You should try to reduce your contact with your children if they don’t need to self-isolate with you, but that may not be possible, particularly with young children. • If you are unable to isolate from your children, then your children must continue to stay home until you complete your isolation period. • So far, children with COVID-19 appear to be less severely affected. It is nevertheless important to do your best to follow this guidance. If your babies develop symptoms, call your GP.

Keep it Clean and let in the Sun and the Fresh Air: • If you are isolating at home, do not share a bed or a room with others during your isolation period. • Minimise the time you spend in shared spaces such as bathrooms, kitchens and sitting rooms as much as possible and keep shared spaces well ventilated. • Clean surfaces like kitchen benches and sink tops after you use them and try to avoid touching them after you have cleaned them.

Do you know someone that’s got Covid-19, or who is isolated - and have you or your household whānau been in contact?   Have you checked the locations of interest? Be on the lookout for those cold or flu like symptoms.

Most common symptoms:  • fever  • cough  • tiredness  • loss of taste or smell

Testing Freaks you Out… It won’t take too long honest! The test is taken with a stick with cotton wool on the end that is used to scrape a swab of mucus from inside your nostril.  It literally only takes about 5 seconds. It can be uncomfortable, and may make you feel like you are going to sneeze. People say it doesn’t hurt, but it does feel a bit weird.  Once you have had a test, you need to stay home and isolate until you receive the test result. This will generally be a text to your phone directly from the pathlab. These days it can take several days as pathlabs deal with thousands daily.

Call 0508 4 Aroha, if you want to talk about any of this with a real person! Stay home.

We can help you access the vaccine DROP-IN   Tāneatua Medical Centre, 22 Tūhoe Street has an opportunity for anyone to drop-in and get vaccinated every Thursday 12pm-2pm.   No bookings needed.

MOBILE CLINIC  A mobile vaccination pahi operated by your Tūhoe Medical team is working on getting on the road to visit your whare, please express your interest for a visit to your Tribal Office.

POP UP CLINICS  Just let your Tribal office know and we can bring a team to your whārua and set up at a marae or Tribal office.

Explaining the Traffic Lights… The Traffic Light colour relies on the state of hospitals, vaccination rates and health factors within a region. If these are a worry then the region needs to be restricting movement and gatherings more to protect or ensure that the region can deliver a medical or health response. An example: • Red – then only 25 people at the marae (or other venue) at any one time including the haukaina (ae, this includes the tamariki). • Orange - only 50 people at the marae at any one time including the haukaina (ae, this includes the tamariki). • Green – up to 100 people based on the size of the venue ie space for distancing and ventilation. The main thing to remember is that we can all access the essentials of life, like groceries, medical care, public transport and the gas station for your motuka.

Many of your Marae in Te Urewera are now operating as part of their Tribal COVID response or are paused for a few months until the whārua – mārua can see how we all cope with COVID coming into the kaina. Some may still operate under the traffic light system including for Tanihana which is all possible under the Traffic lights with the restrictions that our marae will apply to keep everyone safe. Where your marae is permitting, please help out with the safety needs, no one should need reminding at this point – your ahi kaa are not liking that job...

ISOLATION SUPPORT A note: • When a COVID positive whānau member is ‘released’ (10 or 14 days isolating and then 72 hours symptom free) then at that point the whānau in the home restart their Day 0 isolation. That is because COVID, particularly Delta may still ‘jump’ to your other whānau in the kaina throughout that window your COVID positive whānau is positive. • That means a minimum isolation for a kaina of 2 people is 23 days (10 days + 72 hours + 10 days of final isolation) for whānau who are not COVID positive. This gets extended if that whānau member tests positive through either of those isolation stages. • That can cause income and other stressors if that isolation stage is extended. • Isolating separately may help to lessen that isolation period. If I am COVID positive I would like my whānau to Tick box

YES: Stay all together – we accept the risk of infection. See page 13 for isolation guidelines. NO: I want my whānau or some of my whānau to isolate away from me. I need an isolation plan.

Isolation Plan I will need to isolate for Vaccinated: 10 days and then 72 hours symptom free Unvaccinated (inc first vax received in last 14 days) 14 days and then 72 hours symptom free I have [

] number of whānau in the kaina (include nearby homes you are in and out of).

I have another whare that we or i can isolate to

Yes

See what’s an isolation whare and guidance on isolating on page 14. If yes, here are some things to think about getting organised to take with you: • Medicines for a fortnight • A bit of kai • If you don’t have signal where you going, then a plan so that you can be reached for those daily health checks – we need to keep sight on any symptoms arising • Blankets and towels • Something to do I am interested in isolating at the marae

Yes

Email, phone or FB your Tribal office or your Isolating marae now – they can make a plan for you now, tell them: • How many whānau are you bringing with you. • Your medical needs you or your bubble will need • Whether you need help to be tested – to start your isolation clock • What to bring with you if you can These are the kinds of support I will expect to need
