What level 2 means for you
Happy Tuesday neighbours,
Most of the country will wake up in level 2 on Wednesday morning.
The key differences to the previous level 2 restrictions are limits on gatherings. Indoors, such as in hospitality settings or event venues, the maximum number of people allowed is now 50.
Outdoors, it is 100 – and records must be kept of attendees at both indoor and outdoor events.
Social distancing at indoor venues has also increased, from 1 metre previously, to 2 metres under the new alert level 2.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
