Alert Level 4 - Prepare, Prevent, Protect.
New Zealand needs your support to eliminate COVID-19 and the Delta variant.
Everyone must now stay home in their bubble.
You can only leave home for essential personal movement, like to:
- shop for groceries
access necessary healthcare - get a COVID-19 test or vaccination
exercise in your local area - go to work if you are an Alert Level 4 worker and you cannot work from home.
Only make physical contact with those in your household bubble.
If you live alone, you may arrange with another person living alone or a household to be part of your household bubble. This arrangement must be exclusive between you and the other household.
At Alert Level 4 you can still access all the essentials you need, including medicine and food.
Covid-19 is an illness that can affect your lungs and breathing by a type of Coronavirus.
