A. The COVID-19 website will have detailed information about what Alert Level 3 means for personal movement, recreation, education, work, business, travel, gatherings and staying safe from today, Tuesday, April 28.
A. You can slightly extend your household bubble to one other, but keep it local, small and exclusive. For example, you could add close family/whanau member, a caregiver, or someone who needs care, or a couple or single person if they live alone and need support.
Anyone who feels unwell should immediately self-isolate from others in their extended bubble.
You can drive within your region (or local area if you live near a regional boundary), to do a recreation activity. But stick to the option closest to home, and stay safe.
A. You can visit a beach or park in your region, or local area if near a regional boundary – try to visit the closest one to home. Make sure you stay 2 metres away from others. If the beach or park is busy, go home and try again later.
You can do low-risk recreation activities like swimming at a safe beach. Avoid using any equipment likely to be touched by people from outside your bubble.
A. Children should stay at home if there is someone to care for them and they can learn from home. Years 11-13 must stay home. Education centres will be in touch with parents soon to discuss their situations. Each education provider will put measures in place to keep children safe and well. This will include having small groups of students, public health measures, regular cleaning, and possibly staggered start and finish times.
A. Yes, but you cannot enter any food premises or consume any food or drink on premises. Purchases can only be online, by phone or drive-through, and any delivery or pick-up must be contactless. Businesses whose premises were open to customers under Alert Level 4, like supermarkets, dairies, pharmacies, and petrol stations, can remain open.
A. All goods can be delivered, including food. The delivery must be contactless. Alcohol can be delivered if the store has an off-licence.
