As Auckland adjusts to Covid-19 level 3 restrictions which began on Sunday morning, Whanganui, along with the rest of the country, is adapting to a return to level 2.
While scheduled Saturday events in the city were able to go ahead, there were some changes for events on Sunday.
The planned annual celebration of Whanganuitanga at Pākaitore/Moutoa Gardens was scaled back to a smaller gathering so the broadcast on Awa FM radio station could still go ahead with selected speakers.
Food Packaging Not Spreading COVID and China s Meat Demand
Thursday Feb 25th, 2021 From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update. More than a year after the pandemic outbreak was declared a global health emergency, the USDA, FDA and Centers for Disease Control continue to underscore there’s no credible evidence of food or food packaging as a likely source of viral transmission of COVID-19.
The USDA tells www.agrimarketing.com, we continue to believe, based on our understanding of currently available reliable scientific information, that the foods they eat and food packaging they touch are highly unlikely to spread COVID-19.

LONDON: Thousands of COVID-19 patients continue to suffer serious, debilitating and lingering symptoms many months after their initial bout of infection, with major social, health and economic consequences, European health experts said on Thursday.
Publishing a World Health Organization-led guidance report on the condition, often referred to as long COVID or post-COVID syndrome , experts said around one in 10 COVID-19 patients are still unwell 12 weeks after their acute infection, and many suffer symptoms for far longer.
