Eke Panuku is committed to keeping our tenants and our staff safe, and we continue to follow government advice under the COVID-19 Protection Framework with all the areas in which we work or are responsible for.

  • Regularly wash and thoroughly dry your hands or use hand sanitiser.
  • Sneeze and cough into your elbow.
  • Keep your distance from people you do not know.
