The following changes to the Public Health regulations were announced at today's Ministry of Health Media briefing:
1. No time limits on visits to beaches and rivers. Visitors will now be allowed to visit at any time. (All other public health provisions remain in place)
2. Safe Zones expanded - Under 12s will be able to access safe Zone facilities once accompanied by vaccinated adults.
(Parents and Guardians are however encouraged to make their own risk assessment before taking their unvaccinated children into these safe zones.)
These updates take effect from Monday, February 21, 2022.
