Golden rules for business at Alert Level 3

This afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that at this stage, Auckland will remain at Alert Level 4 for an additional 2 weeks, until 11:59pm Tuesday 14th of September, and the country south of Auckland will move to Alert Level 3 from tomorrow, 11:59pm Tuesday 31st. This will be reviewed again in a week’s time. 

 

Providing wastewater testing comes back clear tomorrow, Northland will join the rest of the country at Alert Level 3 from 11:59 pm Thursday 2nd of September.

 

During the press conference, the Prime Minister mentioned that you can return to your business before Wednesday if you need to prep your workplace. Please remember to follow the Alert 4 guidelines if you need to carry this out.
