Covid-19 Protection Framework aka Traffic Lights

The whole of New Zealand will move to Red in the Covid-19 Protection Framework aka Traffic Lights from 11.59pm, Sunday 23rd January due to the Omicron variant now circulating in Auckland and possibly the Nelson-Marlborough region.  

We've put together a quick reference guide below on the different traffic light settings in case you need a reminder of what life at each of the settings are.  

* Reminder - The red light setting is not a lockdown.  Get boosted before the virus becomes widespread.
