Put the car away, close the door, work from home, or don't work at all ... while most of us are snug in our bubbles, essential workers continue to get out there and get things done. Mainstreet Whanganui, for example, still has things to do.
"Under level 4 most of our team are at home, because we have to follow the rules, but a small team is doing essential services," says Mainstreet general manager Des Warahi.
That consists of basic maintenance of the CBD.
"We're still emptying and cleaning rubbish bins and cleaning toilets. Especially in Block 2, because what we didn't have last time is a vaccination centre, which is packed every day.
"There are high numbers of people coming through that area so I've got people working individually. There are two public toilets open which weren't open last time."
