Preparing for your trip to the glorious North
   
 
  • Check that you have enough medication on hand and refill prescriptions if needed
  • Stock up on any other medical supplies you may need, such as dressings
  • Print out a QR code for your bach so visitors can scan in – you can make a QR poster here
  • Remember, if you're not feeling well, stay home.
   
 
COVID-19 is already in Northland - protect yourself and your whānau
   
 
  • Make a COVID-19 care plan before you come
  • Mask up when you are visiting businesses and other public spaces
  • Use the COVID-19 tracer app to scan in everywhere you go
  • Have My Vaccine Pass ready to scan at the places that require it.
   
 
What happens if I test positive for COVID-19 whilst on holiday in Northland?
   
 

Your situation will be assessed to identify the best place for you to self-isolate. If you can return to your usual residence safely, you will be asked to return home as quickly as possible. You will not be able to use public transport to get home (e.g. fly or take a bus).

You should not travel to Northland if you are unwell.
   
 
Where do I get medical help in Northland?
   
 
  • For non-urgent medical advice, you can call Healthline for FREE, 24/7 on 0800 611 116
  • You can also call your usual GP, if they do telehealth consults or consider returning home to arrange a visit
  • Otherwise these virtual medical services are available for a casual fee:
  • If you run out of medication while you are away, please talk to a local pharmacist
  • In an emergency, call 111 or visit a hospital emergency department.

    Note: Northland DHB emergency departments are extremely busy over the holidays – save our hospitals for emergencies only.
