QR scanning or manual sign in MANDATORY at all alert levels

Brian from New Lynn

"It is clear that when people use the app or manually sign in, rather than relying on memory, contact tracing can happen much more quickly," Hipkins said.

Businesses already needed to display codes at all alert levels. We are making it mandatory at the sorts of places where people gather consistently and in large numbers to ensure that people scan or sign in," Hipkins said. "This means those responsible for businesses and events will need to ensure people keep a record when they visit, either by scanning QR codes with the Covid-19 Tracer App or making a manual record." At the start of this month, scanning had slumped to its lowest level before Wellington's Covid scare. Only 498,723 scans were recorded on the Covid Tracer app which was the lowest number of scans on the app since June 22. There were 21 new Covid-19 community cases in New Zealand today, bringing this outbreak's total to 72.

Hi Neighbour,

Pansies and a daffodil in my garden. 😃

Sharon from Te Atatu South

Pansies were bought from Bunnings weeks ago to replace the ones that had died in the heat of last summer & the seeds I'd planted failed to germinate - I have to do this every year. 😛 Whereas the daffodils keep coming back, I don't have to do anything to them! 😃 This is to cheer … View morePansies were bought from Bunnings weeks ago to replace the ones that had died in the heat of last summer & the seeds I'd planted failed to germinate - I have to do this every year. 😛 Whereas the daffodils keep coming back, I don't have to do anything to them! 😃 This is to cheer everyone up during lockdown. 😃
