New Zealand Police are releasing a multilingual message for our communities ahead of the country's move to Covid-19 Alert level 4.

Police are here to keep our communities safe and help prevent harm, but it's more important than ever that people help us with this.

That means staying home to help keep the wider community safe as part of the restrictions imposed.

We understand these will be stressful and unfamiliar times for many whānau around the country.

We ask that people take stock, take a breath and tautoko each other in the times ahead.

Today, Police are releasing a message in a number of languages for our diverse communities ahead of New Zealand moving to a Level 4 Covid-19 alert.
