Moving from level 4 to level 3...
Moving from Alert Level 4 to Level 3
NZ is still in Level 4 and will stay at Level 4 at least until 20 April.
The decision on when we move to Level 3 will be made on 20 April.
When we go to Level 3, there will no longer be the focus on ’essential businesses only’.
At Level 3, any business will be able to operate as long as they comply with Level 3 criteria and all obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
Level 3 criteria will likely include:
-
Staying home, if working from home is possible.
-
If at work, 2-metre social distancing and hygiene requirements will still apply.
-
Bars, restaurants and retail stores will have to stay closed for over-the-counter business but will be allowed to operate food delivery, click & collect, online or drive through sales. ‘No contact’ rules will apply
-
Tradespersons, house movers etc required to enter homes will be able to do so but must observe safe distance and ‘no contact’ rules.
-
Travel will be permitted for necessary reasons (commuting to work, taking children to school etc), within your region.
-
Recreation will be permitted as long as you are separate from anyone outside your bubble. Swimming, shore-based fishing and surfing will be OK in Level 3, but not motorised sports (boating etc), and no large gatherings.
-
Schools will be partly reopened (for students up to year 10). Attendance will be voluntary, as parents will be encouraged to keep children home if possible.
-
Funerals & weddings will be limited to fewer than 10 people, with no reception, foods or drinks allowed
