This week there have been confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Auckland region. This has resulted in Auckland being moved to alert level 3 and the rest of the country to alert level 2 for at least three days with further decisions being made today, 14 August 2020.
We all have a role to play being extra vigilant to stop the spread by following the Ministry of Health guidelines. We have done this before, and we can do it again.
How we’re supporting the tourism sector
- This week we refocused an existing industry webinar to provide an update on the current COVID-19 situation.
