Thank you to everyone who joined us on 28 April for the fourth session of Puna Koorero – Trusted Voices: Preparing for winter with Akarere Henry (South Waikato Pacific Islands Community Services Trust) and Janise Eketone (Waikato District Health Board).
The recording is available here if you missed it. ‘Get Connected, Get Protected’ – our latest Puna Koorero session focuses on preparing for winter. Akarere Henry and Janise Eketone share some insights into what to expect from COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 illnesses over the winter season and how to best prepare and safeguard your wellbeing.
