From 11.59pm tonight, 13 April all of New Zealand will move to Orange 🟠

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a sustained reduction in cases and hospitalisations despite the relaxation of settings. Under the COVID-19 Protection Framework, this means we can now move to the Orange setting.

At Orange 🟠
➡️ There are no indoor or outdoor capacity limits at events.
➡️ Face masks are still required for many indoor settings. Inside schools, face masks are not required but still encouraged.
➡️ There are no changes to the 7-day self-isolation requirement, if you, or someone you live with gets COVID-19.
➡️ Bars and restaurants are no longer required to enforce seated and separated rules, although they can choose to keep them.

Wearing a face mask at Orange is still important, especially with capacity limits removed. Next to being vaccinated and having a booster, face masks are the best defence against COVID-19 and reduce new cases by as much as 53%.

Traffic light settings will be reviewed in mid-May.

As we move past the peak of Omicron, we can look toward to a more simplified traffic light system to keep us safe.

🟢 At Green, there will be no restrictions, but you’re encouraged to look after each other by keeping up good health behaviours such as mask wearing on public transport and regular hand washing.

🟠 At Orange, masks will be required in all the indoor places they are now. There will be no capacity limits at gatherings.

🔴 At Red - in addition to masks, there will be an indoor limit of 200 people but no limits on outdoor gatherings or events.

These changes to Red will be in place from midnight Friday. From then, scanning QR codes will no longer be necessary. From 11.59pm 4 April, Vaccine Passes won’t be required.

That’s all there is to remember.

If you do test positive or someone in your household does, everyone must isolate for seven days. Find out more here: https://covid19.govt.nz/traffic-lights-changes

If you’re symptomatic, you should take a rapid antigen test (RAT).

If you test positive, you need to report the results. There are two ways to do this.

➡️ You can report it online through your MyCovidRecord.nz account.
➡️ You can also report your result by calling 0800 222 478 and selecting option 3. You can call any time between 8am and 8pm, 7 days a week.

If you need to report at RAT result for someone under the age of 12, you will need to do this over the phone.

Find out more about reporting your RAT results here: https://covid19.govt.nz/testing-and-tracing/covid-19-testing/report-your-rat-with-my-covid-record/

Rapid antigen tests (RATs) are the main testing method being used for people with COVID-19 symptoms, or those who are a Household Contact. Results take about 20 minutes.

RATs are free if you have COVID-19 symptoms, or you are a Household Contact (living with someone who has COVID-19). You will also be able to purchase these at retailers – including supermarkets.

You can get a free RAT by:
➡️ visiting a community testing centre. Find one near you here: www.healthpoint.co.nz/covid-19
➡️ ordering online or over the phone. RATs can be requested on behalf of someone else. You will need access to a mobile phone to validate your order. Go https://requestrats.covid19.health.nz or call 0800 222 478, choose option 3 (8am-8pm, 7 days a week). RATs need to be picked from a collection site near you – someone else can collect on your behalf.
