Covid Lockdown - From the RSA Welfare Support
RSA Covid 19 lockdown update – August 20
The nationwide level 4 lockdown has been extended until 11:59pm on Tuesday, August 24. In the face of the lockdown, it’s been great to see the RSA network initiating support.
We have already implemented the RSA Covid response plan and this is being led by Danny Nelson, Senior Support Manager. District Presidents are responsible for connecting will all their RSAs and maintaining effective communications and the DSMs are coordinating the network of support in each district.
The plan enables us, despite being in lockdown, to keep support in place for those who need it and to meet any new requests that may arise as a result of the lockdown. Remember that the support services we always provide are still be provided to veterans and their families, despite the extraordinary circumstances.
PLEASE NOTE: Essential workers can only be authorised by the Senior Support Manager and once training is completed the Formal letter authorising them will be issued.
From 11.59pm, Wednesday 18 August, it became mandatory for everyone aged over 12 to wear a face covering when visiting essential services including healthcare facilities. It is also a requirement for essential workers, including those in the home and community support sectors, to wear a face covering while delivering services.
If you find yourself, or a veteran you know in need of assistance with shopping, medication pick-ups or deliveries or anything else, please contact your local District Support Manager to arrange the help required.
The Ministry of Health’s website has been updated with all up to date relevant information and this can be viewed here.
If you need ANY assistance at all, during or after the lockdown, do not hesitate to call your District Support Manager:
