As the coronavirus outbreak spreads and more people self-isolate, Kiwis are banding together to help those in need. 

Facebook group Self Isolation Support – Kāpiti is only 48 hours old, but it already has more than 600 members and offers to deliver groceries and medicine are coming thick and fast.
