Prepare your household for Omicron
Omicron is sweeping the globe. This highly contagious variant of Covid 19 is going to hit Aotearoa. As the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said “it’s not about if but about when”. The messages coming from our health experts in the recent weeks is telling us to get ready but what should we do? Below is a list of tips to prepare your household for Omicron.
Get Vaccinated - evidence shows that vaccinating reduces the severity of Omicron
Make a plan - Identify people outside of your home who could help if your household is isolating, for example by dropping off food or supplies. Make plans if you have shared custody of a child or dependent. Talk to your employer, your child’s school, and community groups to find out what their plans are. Do they need anything from you? Work out how to let people know your household is isolating
Have everything you need - Work out what you will need to help yourself and those around you. Record who is in the household and the medications, treatments, or care they need. Make sure you’ve got everything you may need to deal with covid symptoms e.g. panadol, nasal spray, throat lozenges, cough medicine
Know and share your plan - Make sure the people who matter know what they will need to do i.e. your whānau, neighbours and loved ones.
Reach out to friends and whānau - support your friends and family
Finally, let us know at Dunedin Property Management if you are isolating. We have systems in place to support our tenants that have covid and are isolating.
