What traffic light colour will each region move into?
The traffic light system has three colours - green, orange and red.
Auckland will move into the red colour - the setting with the toughest restrictions - after November 29, primarily because of its high number of Covid cases.
Ardern wouldn't say which colour other District Health Board regions would move into, with those decisions to be made closer to November 29.
However, she said the Government would move cautiously as it had done in the past.
That meant regions with low vaccination rates, such as Northland, can likely expect to also be put into the red colour and its tougher restrictions.
These regions may be able to move to orange or green restrictions as their vaccination levels improved, Ardern said.
No region will go straight to the green setting.
In short, what does the traffic light system mean for me if I'm vaccinated?
While Aucklanders have been locked up for months - unable to go to the gym or dine-in at their favourite restaurant during the latest outbreak - that is supposed to be a thing of the past under traffic light system.
Under all traffic light settings, events, restaurants, bars, gyms and hairdressers are expected to be able to remain open.
That is, provided they use a vaccine certificate to ensure only vaccinated people are using their services.
Ardern said today a vaccinated person would likely feel no different under the orange and green settings.

Only under the red setting do events and gyms become limited as they have to restrict the number of people in attendance to 100 or fewer, while hairdressers also have to maintain stricter public health measures.
In short, what does the traffic light system mean for me if I'm not vaccinated?
If you are not vaccinated, the traffic light system will likely feel like a level 3 lockdown.
For those currently living outside of Auckland and enjoying level 2 freedoms that will mean life is about to get much more restricted.
Events, restaurants, hairdressers and cafes that use vaccine certificates will not be able to accept you into their stores.
And events, restaurants, hairdressers and cafes that do not use vaccine certificates will not be allowed to open at all under the red and orange settings - except to offer takeaway food only in the case of restaurants and cafes.
Gatherings at funerals and weddings will be limited to 10 people under the red setting and 50 people under the orange setting.
Under the green setting, events, gyms and restaurants will be able to open without vaccine certificates but there will be restrictions on how many people can be in attendance.

The traffic light system in more detail
Red
Red will be used when there is an outbreak and the health system is facing an "unsustainable number of hospitalisations".
Unlike at current alert levels, everything will be allowed to remain open during an outbreak.
Hospitality will be open but patrons must be seated and separated. There will be a 100-person cap. Gyms and hairdressers will be allowed to remain open. These will all require a vaccine certificate.
Gatherings, including weddings, funerals, places of worship and marae, will be limited to 100 people based on 1m spacing if vaccination certificates are used. They will be limited to 10 people if they are not used.
People will still be encouraged to work from home.
For places where vaccination certificates are not used, settings similar to alert level 3 will apply, like contactless retail and hospitality.
Scanning in or record keeping continues to be required and masks are mandatory on flights, public transport, taxis, retail and public venues. It is recommended they are worn whenever leaving the house.
Orange
The orange level will indicate a limited outbreak, but there is an "increasing" risk to at-risk populations. The health system is "focusing resources" on Covid, but it can still manage as a whole.
For businesses that use vaccination certificates, there will be no numerical caps but some public health measures such as distancing, which will effectively cap numbers.
Schools are open, but there are public health measures. Gatherings, churches and marae will be able to operate as normal if they use vaccination certificates.
Scanning in or record keeping continues to be required and masks are mandatory on flights, public transport, taxis, retail and public venues. It is recommended they are worn whenever leaving the house.
Green
Green will mean effectively no public health measures. It is for when there is limited community transmission.
For businesses that use vaccination certificates, there are no limits on hospitality or gatherings.
For places where vaccination certificates are not used, restrictions like masking will be required and there will be caps of 100 people on hospitality and gatherings.
Scanning in or record keeping continues to be required and face coverings are mandatory on flights. People are encouraged to wear masks in indoor settings. |
