What we all need to do to keep safe

Stay home if you’re sick

If you’re feeling unwell, isolate wherever you are and call Healthline about a free COVID-19 test. 

Use the NZ COVID tracer app

Scan QR codes everywhere you go, and turn on Bluetooth tracing. All of our offices and facilities have COVID tracer app QR posters.

COVID tracer app

Wear a face covering

Wear face coverings on public transport, domestic flights and when you cannot maintain physical distance in crowded places.

 

Contact tracing locations of interest

Please check the Ministry of Health website for locations of interest for people who may be a ‘casual’ or ‘close’ contact. Follow the clear guidance on what to so if you visited any locations of interest during the relevant times.
