While I believe that is true re Wairarapa and Wgtn being in the same region someone amongst plod doesn't think so as there have been checkpoints on the Wgtn side of the Rimutakas this last weekend

The Te Marua checkpoint has been operating on and off for most of the Level 4 period, especially weekends.

And I would imagine it will continue for level 3. Don't fancy my chances of getting through for a day walk at Waiohine etc

Covid map as of yesterday showing Wellington and Wairarapa. And showing exactly why regions need to be broken in to bite sized chunks and why people should not be coming over the hill (or in to any C19 free areas from areas where there are still cases) at the moment or have it left to individuals 'better judgement' as some bleaters keep banging on about. This is all about a champion team, not a team of champions to quote a well known rugby line. The Wairarapa as with some other smaller zones have been new covid case free for a bit. Hopefully the number of places like this increases too. If there is movement over the hill and an outbreak happens in Wellington again, then businesses in the Wairarapa could also potentially be forced back in to lockdown and many families will suffer accordingly when they didn't need to. My only concern is for people and families livelihoods and welfare at the moment. Its not for much longer. None of this post has anything to do with hunting and I would be suggesting the same to protect those in Wellington or wherever, if the numbers read the other way round too. I am unsure if we will remove it completely nationally, but the priority is getting people back to work and keeping them there. Not travelling too far to go hunting yet. Hang in there folks
