Operating under Covid-19 Red Traffic Light Regulations • Now that we are in ‘red’, and following some enquiries from members, it is timely to remind Branches of the rules under which they can operate as set out in the Covid-19 regulations. • Under ‘red’, gatherings (which include community club activities) can go ahead but they are limited to 100 people if everyone has a My Vaccine Pass. If a My Vaccine Pass is not being used then the gathering is limited to 25 people. • From 4 February 2022 a face mask must be worn when attending a gathering except where there is exclusive use of the venue. Even if it is an exclusive use area (i.e. club rooms), it goes without saying that members should not feel uncomfortable if they choose to continue to wear a mask. • Those Branches that have bar licences, must follow food and drink rules which stipulate that food and beverage service must be seated and separated. The Club may open with up to 100 people or based on 1 metre distancing (whichever is the lesser) per defined space. A My Vaccine Pass is required. • For all gatherings it is the Branch’s responsibility to ensure it complies with capacity limits depending on whether it is requiring My Vaccine Passes or not. Branches can either sight the My Vaccine Pass or use the NZ Pass Verifier App to verify it. • Please continue to use scanning of the Covid-19 QR code or a manual record of attendees and make sure you have good clean handwashing facilities and plenty of hand sanitiser available for members to use.
