New Zealand will move into the COVID-19 Protection Framework (Traffic Light System) at 11:59pm on Thursday 2 December. This means we will no longer be using the Alert Levels (1-4), but instead the new 3 colour approach to managing COVID-19 in the community. Today the Government confirmed which colour each region will go into. Click here for the latest update. The regions that are relevant to EIT are;
- Auckland – Red
- Gisborne/Tairāwhiti – Red
- Wairoa – Red
- Hawkes Bay – Orange
