- The relaxing of measures at level 1 will allow for a greater capacity at attractions and on tours, and possibly the return of festivals and other events.
The Rules
The 10 rules Kiwis should adhere to when the country enters Covid-19 Alert Level 1. They're not 'rules' in the same way as level 4 lockdown rules, but general advice and guidance:
- If you're sick, stay home. Don't go to work, school or socialise.
- If you have cold or flu-like symptoms, call your doctor or healthline. Get tested.
- Wash your hands.
- Sneeze or cough into your elbow and regularly clean shared surfaces.
- You must self-isolate if you're told by officials to do so.
- Stay healthy, work with your GP if you have underlying health issues.
- Keep digital diaries for contact tracing, keep track of where you've been.
- Businesses help people track movements by displaying the QR code.
- Stay vigilant.
- Be kind to others and be kind to yourself.
