COVID-19 portal for Māori
Te Puni Kōkiri’s COVID-19 portal for Māori is a one-stop portal with information on COVID-19 and the vaccine rollout through Karawhiua. It includes information of particular interest to whānau and Māori communities. You will see what iwi, hapū, Māori organisations and marae are doing across the motu and find out where to get Whānau Ora support, help for your business, and information on schooling, among other topics. https://www.tpk.govt.nz/en/whakamahia/covid-19-information-for-maori
