Wellington is now in Covid-19 alert level 2 from 6 pm on Wednesday 23 June after a tourist from Sydney was found to have tested positive.
The alert level for Wellington, which includes the Wairarapa region, Kāpiti Coast and Ōtaki, is expected to remain in place until 11.59 pm on Sunday 27 June. The rest of New Zealand will remain at alert level 1.
All of us at Hutt City Health Centres want to say thank you for your ongoing patience and cooperation during the return to level two.
This means we should keep 2m apart from each other, wash and dry our hands and sneeze and cough into elbows. If you have cold and flu symptoms, please stay home and ring Healthline (0800 358 5453) for advice on being tested.
You may be offered a COVID-19 test. Please say Yes To The Test, the test is free. Continue to keep track of where you have been by using the NZ Tracer app.
We request that you only call the clinic if we can assist you directly. We are experiencing large numbers of phone calls so please be patient if you are calling us.
If a face to face consultation is what is best for you, we have measures in place that this can be done safely.
Consultations with your Doctor may also be held over the phone and these will be chargeable.
All prescriptions can be emailed directly to your pharmacy so make sure you let us know who your pharmacy is when ordering.

We will be vaccinating people in Group 3 over the next few months. You do not need to do anything at the moment.
Everybody in Group 3 will be invited to book their vaccination appointment by the end of July.
When it is your turn to book your appointment, we will let you know. This could be through a text message, by email, letter or phone call.
You could also be invited to book an appointment by a Māori or Pacific health provider, a community or faith leader, or from a disability organisation.
You will be able to get your vaccination at the clinic that is the most convenient to you – near your home or work.
Later in the year, everybody else in New Zealand aged 16 years or older will start being vaccinated. This will take until the end of the year.
There will be a range of places where you will be able to get your COVID-19 vaccinations.
The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is free, safe and effective. Everyone in New Zealand aged 16 or older can get vaccinated before the end of 2021, regardless of residency or citizenship status.
Two doses of the vaccine, at least three weeks apart, will protect you. We have ordered enough doses for everyone in the country.
Hutt Valley and Capital & Coast District Health Boards, working with our Primary Health Organisations, Māori and Pacific providers and disability partners are organising the vaccine rollout.
Ma tini, ma mano, ka rapa te whai. By joining together we will succeed
The vaccine works by teaching your immune system to recognize and fight off the virus. It doesn’t have the virus in it, or anything that can affect your DNA. The vaccine can’t give you the disease.
Medsafe are the Government organization that looks at all medicine before it used in New Zealand. They make sure medicine is safe to use by looking at all of the research and information from around the world. Medsafe have assessed the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and they have said that it is safe to use.
The vaccine is being rolled out in stages
Everyone in New Zealand aged 16 or older is in one of four groups. Which group you are in decides when it will be your turn to be vaccinated.
If you are having the flu vaccine, you need to either have it 2 weeks before your first dose, or 2 weeks after your second dose.
If you are having MMR or any other live vaccine, you will need to have it either 4 weeks before your first dose, or 2 weeks after your second dose.
