No enforcement
Again, the new public health safety measures include a lot of things which need enforcement, such as the limited number of passengers in a 25-seater bus, and the wearing of masks in it. But who will enforce them?
Facebook campaign
Facebook managed to reach 800,000 people in PNG with the Covid-19 education campaign in five weeks. It will be re-running this week the campaign against the Covid-19 misinformation in Tok Pisin and English.
We boobed
Oops! The headline on Friday’s story wrongly mentioned Michael as the one mending shoes. He is the author of the article. Sorry, Michael.
Cloned cards
Be on the lookout for those using “clone” bank cards to steal money from your account. The warning comes from the police cybercrime unit. It is real.
Sad sight
Not the outcome Melbourne Storm and Justin Olam fans expected but as in all sports, one has to win and one has to lose. Time to move on.

Colleague told doctor that he drinks a lot of beer because he was told to always drink a lot of water – beer is around 90 per cent water, he reasons.
Bad roads
The roads to the Wildlife and Eight-Mile settlements in Moresby North-East badly need upgrading. So many voters live down that way.
Food for thought
Shoutout to those who haven’t felt okay lately, but still get up and refuse to quit. Stay strong.
