In addition to its Covid-19 lockdown update videos, Napier City Council has also added versions in sign language to their Facebook Page.
Napier Mayor Kirsten Wise has been making daily videos, which have been uploaded to the council Facebook page, updating residents during the level 4 lockdown.
She has also been making question time videos where she answers some of the most commonly asked questions from Napier residents, relating to the lockdown.
Now, some of these videos are also available in New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL), an official language of New Zealand.
Natasha Mackie, who has been Welfare Manager for much of the time since the country moved to alert level 4 on March 24, views the videos in New Zealand Sign Language as a need.
