COVID - 19 BLOG

COVID - 19 By Brock

 2020 where do we start. March 26th we went into full level 4 lockdown in New Zealand. That meant we had to stay home from school, the parks and only 1 person in the family could go to the supermarket. We also had to stay in the house where we lived and no one could come or stay apart from those living there.  That was my mum, dad, my sister Peyton and me. My older brother kadin stayed with his girlfriend. And only those that were essential workers such as nurses, doctors, cleaners and supermarket staff were allowed to go to work.

The facts so far about Covid - 19 is there are a total of 1474 cases, 348 are probable so may or may not have the virus, 1126 that have tested positive. 1229 have since recovered with 19 people dying from the virus that have underlying other medical issues.

In Canterbury 162 have tested positive for Covid - 19, 111 people have since recovered with just 41 people still having it. In christchurch we have had 3 places where 10 or more people have Covid- 19 which is called a cluster. They are Rosewood Rest home with 54 cases, George Manning Rest Home with 20 cases and a unknown workplace with 10 cases.

The honerable Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Minister of Health Ashley Bloomfield have been doing daily updates on the TV with how New Zealand is doing.

On Tuesday 28th April 2020 we moved to level 3 lockdown where over 400,00 people returned to work and lots of businesses were able to open such as McDonalds and Burger King but we havent had any yet as there are very long lines of people wanting takeaways.

Level 3 also means keeping our bubbles stillk small so unless your parents are essential workers you still cant go to school yet. So we still have mum at home but dad has returned to work as a Saw Doctor for Thode Knife & Saw. My other brother Kadin comes home each night for a shower after work . Im excited once level 2 comes in so i can see my other older brother Travis and his girlfriend Greer and see Kadinś girlfriend Emma.

making a banana cake

Hey bloggers im back with a brand new post so last night i started a banana cake 
First i measured and cut the butter then i mashed the bananas because you can´t make banana cake
without bananas. Then we added every ingredient for the mixture so then we got a square pan and put the mixture in it and put the mixture into the oven. It was the next day we made the white icing then the chocolate words and then my mum put the icing on.
