    New COVID-19 Protection Framework (Traffic Light)

    in General Discussions

    Information based on this mornings government announcement

    Vaccination certificate requirements Requiring a vaccination certificate will be optional for many locations. There will be some higher-risk settings where they will be a requirement in order to open to the public. At all levels, businesses, retail, and public facilities will generally be able to remain open for vaccinated people. Businesses, events, organisations, community, and a range of sectors may legally choose to implement a vaccination entry requirement for customers. If a business, organisation or service does not wish to request proof of vaccine, they will have to operate with strict limits on capacity and space requirements. They may need to close in Orange and/or Red levels.

    When AKL hit 90% vax rate - AKL can move into RED (16000 doses to go)

    At RED - These places will not be able to operate without a vaccine certificate requirement:

    • Events (indoor and outdoor)

    • Close contact businesses

    • Gyms

    Where we can go at Red:

    • Public facilities — open with up to 100 people, based on 1m distancing

    • Retail — open with capacity limits based on 1m distancing

    • Workplaces — working from home encouraged

    • ECEs, schools, and kura are open with public health measures

    • Specified outdoor community events — allowed with capacity limits

    • Regional boundary restrictions will apply.

    How we stay safe at Red:

    • Record keeping and scanning will be required

    • Face coverings will be mandatory on flights, public transport, in taxis, retail, public venues, recommended whenever leaving the house


    Places with vaccination certificate requirements

    There will be restrictions if vaccination certificates are used.

    These places will be able to open with up to 100 people, based on 1m physical distancing:

    • Hospitality

    • Gatherings (for example weddings, places of worship, marae)

    • Events (indoor/outdoor)

    • Gyms

    Other Notes

    Cabinet had agreed to the use of vaccine certificates in Aotearoa, and they were likely to be a digital Covid-19 vaccination certificate containing a QR code. The codes can be printed out on paper, and there will be an app available for venues to use to verify the QR code is genuine. The government aims to have the vaccine certificates in use by next month. (use of vaccine certificates in Aotearoa)
