What we need to do at Alert Level 2
At Alert Level 2 there is a low risk of community transmission. We need your support to protect New Zealand and eliminate COVID-19.
What you must do when you leave home
Use this simple tool to find out when you must wear a face covering, when to keep your distance from people you do not know, and when to keep a record of where you have been.
Doing business at Alert Level 2
Businesses can open at Alert Level 2, but you must follow public health rules, including record keeping. All workers should keep at least 1 metre apart, where possible.
Some workers must wear a face covering.
