Auckland is now at Alert Level 2, and businesses can open for staff and customers.

Cafes and restaurants can open with the 3 S’s in place. Staff need to ensure that customers are seated, separated and served by a single server.
Gatherings of up to 100, such as church services, tangihanga and funerals, weddings, sports and social events are allowed – but remember you must keep 2 metres away from people you don’t know.
The rest of New Zealand is now at Alert Level 1, and we all need to be ready in case COVID-19 reappears in our community.
Face coverings are still required on all public transport and aircraft – that includes trains, buses, and local commuter ferries, at all Alert Levels.
Continue to play it safe by washing your hands often, using the NZ COVID tracer app with Bluetooth turned on and staying home if you're sick.

New Zealand has signed an advance purchase agreement with Pfizer-BioNTech for 8.5 million more doses of its vaccine - enough to vaccinate 4.25 million people.

Our original advance purchase agreement was for approximately 1.5 million doses - enough for 750,000 people. Image
This decision is based on the Pfizer vaccine being shown to be about 95 percent effective at preventing symptomatic infection and is the only COVID-19 vaccine currently approved by Medsafe for use in New Zealand.
Having one vaccine, rather than multiple vaccines with multiple protocols, will simplify the rollout. It means that everyone in New Zealand can be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have access to the same vaccine.
