Police urges New Zealanders to keep playing their part in fighting COVID-19

Police is asking New Zealanders to play their part in the continuing fight against COVID-19, and adhere to the restrictions, as Auckland heads into its first weekend joining the rest of the country at Alert Level 2.

Assistant Commissioner Richard Chambers says Police will be highly visible at bars and restaurants across Tāmaki Makaurau ensuring that the public are complying with the current restrictions.

This weekend will be the first under Alert Level 2 for those in Auckland after the region moved out of Level 3 at the beginning of the week.
