TV presenter Hilary Barry has reminded New Zealanders to be kind and patient, as the country settles into a new "normal" on alert level 2.
And she is asking New Zealanders to be particularly patient with senior citizens, many of whom will now be leaving their homes for the first
time in seven weeks, and might not be fully aware of the Covid-19 protocols.
"Sending some virtual hugs and love to any seniors out there," the news host wrote on Facebook.
"I've had some older people tell me they've been a bit overwhelmed today with the start of level 2 and going out and doing their own shopping for the first time and not being used to the Covid-19 protocols.
Barry, who went viral with her "Formal Fridays" trend during lockdown, reminded New Zealanders that most elderly people have been in their homes for levels 3 and 4 and this will be their first time outside in many weeks.
