How we protect each other at Red

  • Wear a face covering wherever you go. These are mandatory on flights, public transport, taxis, retail, and public venues.
  • With a My Vaccine Pass, you can visit cafes and bars, attend gatherings and events, and visit close contact businesses like hairdressers. Some limits like capacity and distancing requirements will apply.
  • Without My Vaccine Pass, there are more restrictions in place. For example, you can't visit close contact businesses like hairdressers or gyms, attend events like concerts, or dine in at cafes and restaurants.
  • Workplaces and schools are open — public health measures will be in place
  • Keep scanning QR codes and recordkeeping wherever you go
  • Keep physically distanced wherever possible
  • If you have cold or flu symptoms, isolate immediately and call Healthline for advice about a test
